Not good. MacWrite 5.0 only works with system 6.0.3 and earlier. On 6.0.4 and beyond it is known to eat documents. >I recommended upgrading to MW II or some other word processor, but they (a >university newspaper and yearbook staff) LIKE MW 5.0. So do I, it's much simpler than MacWrite II. MacWrite II is more like MS Word with a liveable interface :-). I think Claris should modify MacWrite II to work with later systems, and sell it to us poor folk who buy Classics to write 5-page college reports for about $100. I think that was the price before MW II came out at $295. > >Cyndi Smith >cyn@mdaali.cancer.utexas.edu Dennis Lippert - macman@unix.cis.pitt.edu
