[comp.sys.mac] Software updates

eddie@dvlmarv.UUCP (10/22/87)

I just read from the Oct,87 issue of Mac World that Apple has
updated four of their software application ( MacProject, MacTerminal,
MacWrite, and MacDraw). Does anyone know whether these updates contain bug
fixes and new features? Or are these updates just for increasing 
compatibility to the new MacII? Thanks.

They're all primarily updates for the MacII and bug fixes. I've looked at
them all (except for Macdraw, which I don't have) and don't see any significant features. MacTerminal 2.2 is required to run with the latest system/finder,
because it got caught using a low memory variable they shouldn't have.

They do, indeed, contain bug fixes.  For example:  Mac Draw now handles
fonts correctly.  Also, MacDraw can move a group of items without
losing its alignment.  MacWrite now follows the Apple guidlines on the
arrow keys.
