	There was a fair amount of software, some extremely
useful, at NCC.  Probsably the most important was a C compiler
which is said to be working Right Now (copy supposed to come to
me with Xeroxed documentation in next few days).  Therewere
other applications software packages.
	The story on MacWrite: I am told that MacWrite is
deliberatly crippled (cannot handle big documents) due to an
agreement with Microsoft so that MacWrite won't compete with The
Word; only The Word ain't out yet.
	I was also told that versions of Macwrite with many new
features and ability to handle longer documents are already used
internally at Apple.  Anyone know anything about this?
	There still isn't the flood of software announced way
back last spring, but some is appearing. Data bAse, and an
interesting "Composer's " package that lets Mac write music; I
didn't see if it did automatic transpositions and like that.
	There was also a fascintating gadget that attaches to
the Imagewriter and allows Mac to DIGITIZE drawings such as
illustrations from books, hand drawn plans, etc., turning those
into a legal Macpaint file.  This could be the big news of the
show.
