There's been some recent "it's-time-to-dump-Microsoft" discussion in this group and while I'm actually happy with Word (except for its lack of EPS support) I guess I'm in the same boat. System 7 provides the natural incentive to re-think my choice in software. (Side note: I'm still using Excel 1.04 because of the high upgrade costs for marginal improvements! System 7 breaks the poor thing...sniff.) QUESTION: Are there any rumors about MacWrite Pro, MacDraw Pro and Resolve and how they will work together? It looks like they will all become official products at about the same time, so it seems that they could really be done "right." They may even be Way Cool. Comments? -- Mark S.

You can paste in EPS, it displays it if there's an attached bitmap, and it prints fine. |QUESTION: Are there any rumors about MacWrite Pro, MacDraw Pro and |Resolve and how they will work together?

The comment I heard was that "you won't be able to tell which application you're running unless you pull down the Apple menu." This would, in fact, be Way Cool. -- Brian L. Matthews blm@6sceng.UUCP
