I have run the demo version on a 1 Meg Mac Plus and it seems to work OK ...
what's going on?

This is important, as we have dozens of Macs here and no chance of most of them
being upgraded to more memory in the foreseeable future. It would be nice if it
could run in 512K too, as we would like to go on using those machines. Surely
it would be possible for the program to gracefully degrade and not load code
for the more esoteric features if the memory to run them wasn't there?

A pity. FullWrite looks like the best Mac word processor yet. But if it can't
run in 1 meg, forget it.
