I'm considering purchasing either MacWrite II or ClarisWorks.  It's my
understanding that ClarisWorks has a built-in word processor that is
equivalent to MacWrite II.  I've heard the rumors that you can upgrade
to MacWrite Pro (for little or no fee) if you have MacWrite II.

So I'm torn between buying one or the other -- is ClarisWorks going
to have an upgrade that will make its word processor equivalent to
MacWrite Pro, or should I buy ClarisWorks and forget about MacWrite
Pro?  I would like to get some of the things bundled in ClarisWorks
(like the spreadsheet), but I'm probably going to do more heavy-duty
word processing than using a spreadsheet.

Does anyone have any inside information or suggestions?

Thanks,
Bryan
