I have a student running Applixware 4.3 and the docu that comes with
it is clearly marked "Student Version" on the cover, but not on the
CDROM; and quite clearly on page 19-13 of the Words manual makes
mention of the ability to export to MS Word 2.0 and 6.0 for Windows.
We had a problem when we tried this, in that it only generates a file
of nulls.  Nowhere is there any mention of this apparent restriction.

Does this fall into the area of 'misleading advertising'?
