It may be worth noting that Mind genius unlimited licence is free to
colleges that have signed up to CHESS. TextHELP Read and Write will
also do an excellent unlimited licence and can be bargained with if you
are still not happy. In my experience most specialist companies will look
favourably on providing cost effective licencing - you just have to ask.
