Thanks in advance. According to what I understand from Claris Product Marketing, People who bought MacWrite II between April 1, 1991 and Jan 31, 1992, will get a free upgrade to MW Pro. (Except that if you bought MW II as part of a multi-program package, then the cutoff is Oct 1991). People who bought MW II before April 1, 1991, or after Jan 1992, can get MW Pro for $69. The reason for the Feb 1, 1992 cutoff is that on Feb 1, 1992, the suggested list price of MW II dropped from $250 to $129. As I said, this is information I received from Claris product marketing, and I may have misremembered some of the dates. So, do not take this as gospel, and it is most definitely not an official Claris announcement, even though I work for Claris.
