Hi,
   Being the instigator of the current Fullwrite discussion, I think I should
post some kind of summary of the reponses I have been getting.  This time (as
someone pointed out) due to inflammatory reasons, I received a large (read
around 10) responses.  Nobody so far has been able to duplicate the system
bombs (id=10).  I have tried removing all the inits and Public domain stuff
from my system folder, but the bug seems to persist.  If I ever discover what
was wrong, I'll post it.  Meanwhile, the bug was no big deal.
   Most of the people who use it like it over MS Word 4 though everyone
complained the program was extremely slow (even on the 68030 machines). I
received a message from someone at Aston-Tate saying that the update was
going to come next year.  So that might mean 27 days or 392.  After reading the
article in MacWorld on Aston-Tate, I think the higher number is a better guess.

Oh, BTW, here is a bug I found in MathType 2.05.  Select Matrix entry and enter
a 0 for number of rows or columns.  Immediately you should get a Zero Divide
System bomb.  I know its kind of silly bug, but hey nobody likes the cute
system bomb anymore.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Rajiv.
