oops, i didn't catch the PD part.  One of the people i am working for
owned a copy, so it wasn't a problem.  I was told that he thought they
quit support, so i'd have to try the unix tools.

Dumb question though, if they don't want to support it, do you think
they could make it freeware or shareware for people that would like to
see it?

I doubt taking their docs and putting it into Word/MacWrite  format and
dumping it and the prog to the ftp sites w/ a "final release"  shareware
would cost them much [i say maybe a day for one person @ the most!]  and
it could still bring in $$.  If they saw they were getting a fair amt of
downloads and/or shareware payments, they might make more mac stuff

Just an idea...
