Good point for all those MSWord users out there. However, I felt that the
statement should have read something like:

"Ah, but Microsoft Word has an annoying habit of not allowing SuperClock to
work properly". 

From what I've seen, many things are "incompatable" with MSword (screen savers,
font support, communication packages, etc.) simply because MSword is
incompatable with them.

Who's writing applications like they are the only one on the system? I'm not
sure (he desperatly states in order to avoid flame insurance :-) but I make my
guesses from the applications that seem to consistently  be incompatable  with
others.

Anyway, I don't use Word so I can use Superclock if I want. I can also use a
lot of other things that people who need to use word might not be able to use.

I don't know. Is there something in Superclock that "breaks the rules" such
that it is incompatable with many applications? I HAVE noticed that if you are
running the hypercard stacks "The Manhole", the sound can stop working if the
clock chimes the hour.
