From the Claris flyers:
- MacWrite 5.0
o spell checker with > 100k word dictionary
o you can create your own custom dictionaries
o arrow keys supported
o decimal tabs (?? don't remember if it's already there)
o (more?) keyboard equivalents for functions
o supports big screens
o MultiFinder compatible
o runs on II, SE, Plus, 512KE
- MacPaint 2.0
o tear off menus (i.e., you can move the tool pallette and pattern
menu around)
o auto scrolling
o up to 9 documents open simultaneously
o snapshot and "magic eraser" that restores any part of the
picture as it appeared in the last snapshot (I think)
o supports big screens
o MultiFinder compatible

> Is it worth it to upgrade ?
$25 each to upgrade. You decide.
