Hi all,

Just in case there are any other FullWrite addicts out there, Ashton
Tate was showing FullWrite 1.5 at MacWorld this week.  The upgrade
has many improvements including:

1.  Context-senstive help system
2.  Ability to import and export Word 3.X and 4.0, Pagemaker, WordPerfect,
    DisplayWrite, and MultiMate files. 
3.  A new table-maker application (Tyco Table Maker) is included.
4.  Ability to move graphics and sidebars directly from main window
    rather than going through subwindows.

Upgrades are $49 for registered owners and are available by calling
1-800-2ASHTON.  The new version was selling at a MacWorld special price
of $99 (normally $299, I think).

I have no idea if it is any faster on low-end Macs; I saw it demonstrated
on Mac IIs.  Memory requirements are the same as for 1.0:  
it will run in 1 Meg under
singlefinder, requires 2 Megs if you run Multifinder, and is happiest
with 2 Megs or more to itself.

The salesman stated that the program has been in extensive beta-test and
that it was vastly more reliable than previous versions (not that I've
really had much trouble with my old 1.0).  I have no proof of this assertion
other than I didn't see it crash.

It looked nice; I ordered my copy today.
