Not quite a followup, but what the hey...

Anyone know if MS Word supports Multifinder? Seems a good bet that that's 
what's holding up the folks at Ann Arbor. I worked for a Mac software house
way back in '84 and Apple was big on pressuring us to support the latest
and greatest, no matter how buggy the flippin' thing was. Fullwrite Pro may 
have been ready to go and the folks up Cupertino way said. "Hey, wait a 
minute...".  Microsoft could tell Apple to shove off, but I doubt that Ann 
Arbor could.

'Course, neither side will admit if this is true, but it's worth considering.

Gad, first an apologist for the new Star Trek and now this. As if I don't
have products of my own to defend...
