   Sorry, no comment.  Sigh.

I think that Microsoft Works has already more than adequately filled
this niche in the Mac world.  The sad thing is that even with a better
product than Works, I think Claris would have a tough time breaking
the Microsoft loyalties.

Does anyone know of plans for a powerful wordprocessor for the GS?
I'm referring to somethnig on par with Word 3.0.
