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.
