If you decide to buy More, be careful, it is very buggy.  Myself and
two of my friends all had discs trashed by the program.  In my case
I was simply printing out a moderate size chart (about 3 pages) when
the screen turned into rows of zebras -- the floppy on which the
More program was on had to be reformatted.  The people of Living
Video Text have not returned any of my calls over the past two
weeks.  My other two friends lost their hard discs, one an Apple
HD-20, the other a SCSI drive while doing other operations.  We each
bought the More product from different computer dealers and all of
us were using unmodified Mac Pluses.
