I spoke to the folks at T/Maker about WriteNow Version 1.07.  They are
aware of the problems with MultiFinder and the Mac II and are planning
to come out with new version in April (Real Soon Now :-).  The update
will cause $25 + $3 shipping/handling + sales tax.  Notice will be sent
to all registered users in a newsletter.

They also suggested some things that would make life better until the new
version shows up.  On the Mac II, run in 2 bit mode (i.e. no color)
and try to run WriteNow in the first 1 mb of memory (how can you do
this under MultiFinder I don't know since I think MF loads programs
from the top down).  Also make sure you have lots of memory for MultiFinder
(I didn't for a number).
