    The fact that there is no file conversion needed to work in Windown
is irrelevant to upgrading to FM Pro 2.0. If you ask me the single best
reason to upgrade is to get the new Script Editor. It's amazing. There
is also a lot more support for System 7, and there is also no support
for Quicktime. And that is just the tip of the new capabilities.
