Several people have complained that macwrite does not print properly with
moire running. I will fix it in the next version. The problem from my end
is that i live in an laserwriter/word environment and we have never sufferd
these problems. Moire works perfectly on a laserwriter, which suggests that
the problem is in the imagewriter /macwrite code. Nevertheless, i suppose
i have to do fix this as so many people use  macwrite. I will either disable
moire when imagewriter printing occurs in macwrite, or maybe if i'm lucky
i'll find a workaround. 
	
There are many programs out there that handle events/windows in a non-standard
fashion. These are not bugs, but it makes writing neat backgrounding utilities
much more difficult. Works, Excel, Word, and Illustrator are the most memorable
examples. Not fun tracing through such programs to find out why moire wasnt
working...of course all these problems have been fixed.
	
Hopefully I should be able to iron this *last* bug out before my birthday (in
10 days time).
