Does MacWrite 5.0 break while running under System 6.0.4 or 6.0.5?

I remember, perhaps wrongly (wrongly?), reading an article a while
back saying that they were incompatible, and that Claris wasn't going
to fix the problem.  Claris instead said to upgrade to MacWrite II,
which worked fine.

The situation:  We've got a lab full of Mac SE's still running 6.0.2, with
a few copies of MacWrite 5.0 available on the file server.  We just came
up with a need to upgrade to System 6.0.5.  Will we need to upgrade to
MacWrite II?
