You should not post MacWrite 4.0, for 3 reasons:
1) MacWrite is not a public domain program.
2) Version 4.0 is not the final released version; there is already a
version 4.3. You would be doing a disservice to people by posting software
that is known to have bugs.
3) When the final version is available (which should be shortly), people
can just go into their dealers and get the upgraded MacWrite for free.
There is no reason to cause a lot of net traffic posting a large program
when it will be much easier (and more reliable) for people to get it from
dealers.
I am trying to get one of the people in charge of our software library to
write up a list of the version numbers of all released software.
Hopefully, that will be forthcoming in a week or so.
