  Yes there is. It's called MacWrite 4.6, dated July 7, 1987. Version 4.5
will crash on any 68020 or 030 machine for the same reason that the old
Macintalk does - it uses some slight code modification techniques to work.
Such programs, big no-nos, come to grief with the 68020 and 030 processor
instruction cache.

  I have no idea where you can get 4.6 from.

  cheers
