	Does anybody know the compatibility between two versions of WriteNow
on NeXT and Mac? I tried to load a Mac version .wn file and got a lapse of
alert panel saying somthing about "Macintosh....." And the application quited
without any further explanation. The version on NeXT is 2.0 and 2.2 on Mac.

Thanks.

Gary

I know the newest version of WriteNow on the Macintosh (I don't know the number)
has a "Save As" option for NeXT WriteNow compatibility -- the file formats seem
to be quite a bit different.

I have no problem reading Mac WriteNow 2.2 files on the NeXT.  It converts the  
characters properly.

Mac WriteNow 2.2 doesn't properly convert the NeXT special characters to the  
appropriate Mac ones.  I haven't tried WN 3.0 yet.
