I don't know about that claim (never having seen it :-) ), but I DO know
that I'm having problems with the demo on my Mac Plus.

When bring up FullWrite Demo, I usually get a "You are low on memory"
warning.  When loading one of the demo files that came on the disk, I
sometimes get an "Out of Memory" error.  What gives?

I am running on a Mac Plus with 1 meg of memory, and System 4.2/Finder 6.0.
I am NOT running Multifinder.  Do I have to get more memory to run the 
demo?  What about the real package?  (And no, I don't have a ton of INITs
running on my system).

Despite the somewhat grumpy tone of this posting, I do like FullWrite,
and look forward to the actual release.  Assuming I ever get it running,
of course.  :-)
