I got an upgrade notice from Electronic Arts, I sent in my money, and I
got the upgrade. It still puts a garbage bar at the end of the manuscript.
The nicest thing about it is that if you pay Adobe for the Sonata
postscript (LaserWriter) font, DMCS will use it. (Adobe fonts are
copyprotected though, so if you rent time on a laserwriter, this is kind
of a pain. (The copyprotection scheme locks the disk so it can only be
used with a single laserwriter.)

You can install DMCS on a hard disk, but it will re-boot if it discovers a
debugger (like MacsBug) present.

You can save phrases in the scrapbook now (as I remember.)

The manual describes a voice editor.
