There's another problem with MacWrite format. I have a document which
was written with MacWrite and when MacWrite II tries to convert it, it
goes into some endless loop, and I have to reboot to escape. I've
called Claris several times to tell them of this problem, even offered
to send them the file on floppy, but they've never returned my calls,
so I assume they aren't interested. (Isn't customer support wonderful?)
So writing things out in MacWrite format isn't a sure win, even if the
application is supposed to be able to read it in. I agree with the
TeachText approach.
