OOPS.  Sorry, but you're wrong here.  Owl International, makers of Guide,
made Guide and Guide Envelopes for the Mac at least a year before it was
available for the PC.  I don't think the even made Envelopes for the PC 
(it was their runtime scheme.)  Owl is pretty goofy to work with.  Hard
to keep things straight while you're working on a document and even harder
to debug.  I put forward my humble opinion as someone who was trying to
use their technology for a "big" software company with the assistance of
the president of Owl International.  I was there man :^).

Oh yeah, Plus was/is out for the Mac already.   Is the PC version here
yet?  I will agree that it is probably a better tool for cross platform
work...then again, it's based on HyperCard.

Make mine HyperCard...make mine Macintosh.
