A friend of a friend of mine is doing the "Extended MacWrite".  He doesn't
work for apple, but he works with them the same as Think and Encore do.

Here's what I've heard about it;  Will be definitly disk based and handle
larger documents faster than MacWrite; will include a resident spelling
checker; is being "hand crafted" in machine code, so it should be pretty
responsive; selection of formatting tools may be a little better.  I'll
get a chance to talk to the guy next week, may have some more info then.

Cheers.
