I upgraded to System 7.0 this week and received my upgrade to Write
Now 2.2 from T/Maker a day later.  The installation went fine, except
that WMInstall didn't work because it couldn't find a System file to
its liking.  So, I just opened the DA suitcase and moved the DA to the
Apple Menu Folder, System-7-style.  However, Wordmaster doesn't work
at all.  When I try to start it, it complains that this version of
Wordmaster only works with Write Now.  But I am using it with Write
Now.  I guess this has something to do with DAs running in their own
layer.  Since it isn't in the same layer as Write Now it gets unhappy.
This is just a guess, though.  Has anyone else observed this?  Is
T/Maker distributing a fix?  Is there an easy workaround?
