i understand that claris is now supporting appleworks along with most of apple's macintosh software products and i was curious if a new release of appleworks was announced recently, and if so, what are the differences between it and the last version from apple. thanks, dsc

The CLARIS advertisement on pages 18 and 19 of the March, 1988 _A+_ specifically refers to AppleWorks 2.0. The number also appears on the 3.5 in disk that dominates the ad. Thus, it would appear that there is no new version (beyond the 2.0 that has been out for a while now). However, the ad also states: " . . . there's an upgrade information kit waiting for you at 800-544-854 . . ." I believe that this indicates that CLARIS is offering to upgrade earlier versions of AppleWorks to 2.0. The conditions are NOT given in the ad. It wasn't free before (why should it be, for such a major improvement?), and I would guess it won't be now. It's very encouraging to see this ad. AppleWorks is featured, together with the Apple ][ [albeit the ][gs :-) ]. Apparently, CLARIS is aware that AppleWorks is a very important program to it. Note that a Canadian 800 number is also given: 800-668-8948. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** -- | Bruce P.
