Okay - here's my 2 cents worth - just before our dreaded VAT (Value added tax)
takes it to 2.07 cents, my price.

I understand from a recent talk with a guy who heard from a girl who knows,
etc.  that Claris has indeed settled on two versions.  The packaged version for
distribution with Macs will be run-time, and the authoring system will be
commercially distributed, no price set yet.

I know, I know! just more rumor - but I have always valued the source, and he
did just return from visiting Apple in their lovely home base in sunny
California.

The plot thickens - as does my blood.  This is an unnice thing to do
Apple-Claris - especially to the people who have done such a good job of
promoting HC (and the Mac) to enquiring minds looking for experienced answers
when they want to buy a computer.  Re-think this insane two version idea!
