Now that Word 4.0 is readily available in stores and on pirate BBS's all over
the country, more and more people are finding bugs. There are some listed in
a document I just uploaded to comp.binaries.mac called "Word 4.0 bugs." It's
14K, stuffed and hex'd.

One particularly appalling bug is the fact that the "calculate" function 
doesn't work, especially with numbers containing decimals. For example,
2.3 * 4.3 gets you 5.8, or some similar error. 

I'll never understand the software industry.
