Hi all...
Can anyone give me an exact date of when Microsoft Write is supposed to
appear.  Should I hold my breath ?  The reason I'm asking is that I need a
powerful word processor that is compatible with either an ibm or mac system.
Wordperfect isn't perfect and I've seen numerous beta versions of Write
floating around for at least 2 years now - so should I break down, buy
a magic sac and run word 3.01 (and spend hours getting it transferred to
mac format for printing) or wait for Write and zap it to a PC formatted
3.5 inch disk for laser printing.  (yes, I've seen wordwriter, 1st word plus
etc.. but I wouldn't want to do too much with these programs)
Is anyone at atari/microsoft listening ??
