This past weekend on Beagle Modem I saw four postings that whetted
my appetite: (Somewhat paraphrased)

1. When Appleworks 3.0 comes out will Beagle support it?

2. Where did you hear such a rumor?

3. Don't you read NAUG? (National Appleworks User's Group)

4. Beagle will always be there to support Appleworks. Of course it
   will probably require and update - Randy Brandt - Ultramacros
   author.

Could some kind reader please fill us in on what is going on and
what the time frame is supposed to be. Open~Apple (now A2~Central)
had an article over a year ago that said something about Appleworks
version 3 unless Claris buys Claris (which he didn't think would
happen).

For my money, Appleworks is darn good right now and if it should
get some spreadsheet enhancements in terms of expanded functions,
it would be real hard to beat.

How about the net going nutso on what Appleworks enhancements they
would like to see and allow the piracy issue drop out of sight
until next spring when the sap again begins to flow.
