Hi All:

HP Eloquence www.hp-eloquence.com is a TurboIMAGE clone that runs on UNIX,
Linux, Windows NT and Windows 2000.  It is owned by HP Germany and is was
developed and supported by Marxmeier Software www.marxmeier.com.  I have
been asked by Michael Marxmeier the author of HP Eloquence to open a
discussion on HP Eloquence on this listserver.

This request was prompted by Richard Gambrell's interest in learning more
about Eloquence.  I forwarded his questions to Michael and here is his
response.

It occured to Michael that other's might have questions about HP Eloquence
or suggestions on how it could be made more appealing to additional users.
