Why not Rich Text Format?  That would satisfy users of Word, Works and (I
suspect) an increasing number of WP programs.  Also, it can be read with just 
a TEXT editor - obviating the need for separate versions.

I agree with the numerous points about MacWrite being inadequate as an inter-
change format for decently formatted text.

BTW  Does anyone know of an RTF -> MacWrite converter (and DON'T SAY Word!)?
