THis brings up a serious question as to wether there are any functions
that 7.0 provides that NeXT doesnt.  Here is a quote form the 15page
pamphlet on the NeXT station.

"Applications can actually cooperate with each other-...-Your
Illistration program can make sure the layout is updated with the most
recent version of the art."

This implies some sort of dynamic update facility.  Does anyone know
if this is ever actually done my Apps?

Any other 7.0 features that are unique?
