My reading of the articles in the Wall Street Journal on the recent ruling
suggests that the only change in Quattro Pro that will occur in response is
deletion of the 1-2-3 menu structure.  Of course that could cause problems
for some macros that rely on this structure.

A Borland rep was quoted as saying something like "the only change in
our product is deletion of an obsolete piece of technology used by
fewer than 10% of established customers" (or words to that effect).

Next upgrade you won't have to delete the 1-2-3 menus yourself!
