*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
As far as I know MockWrite never worked on MacWrite (2.2 or 4.5) files saved
in the fromated, "entire document" form.  MockWrite only can read text files
such as thoughs produced by either version of MacWrite saved as "text only"
or thoughs files made with MockWrite to begin with.  If you have a version
of MockWrite that works with MacWrite formated 2.2 files, I would be
interested having it posted to the net, I could be wrong.
