With system 7.0 only seven days away(we hope) :-). I look forward
to the end of these programs that do EVERYTHING.  I always thought
that programs that tried to do everything(like word process, AND
data base, AND graphic edit) tended to either be overly complex or
had problems with the interreaction between the different parts   
of the program.  The only problem I do see in the new type of
programs that will be written for the mac is that since Apple
did not standerdized how to IAC(aagh!) there could be major problems
with software from different companies trying to communicate
with each other.
Looking forward to the net's ideas and theories on IAC in 7.0
and how programing statagies will change.
