Registration Statement on Form S-3
File No. 333-69259
Ladies and Gentlemen:
On behalf of Inso Corporation, we hereby confirm that the Delaying
Amendment set forth below was inadvertently left off of the above-referenced
Registration Statement. That Registration Statement is hereby amended by adding
the following to the bottom of the cover page thereof:
"The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or
dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant
shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this
Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with
Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration
Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting
pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine."
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Jeffrey A. Stein
