Our Computer Shop has been told by Micosoft that Word 4.0 will not ship
until June (19??).  The best part is that Microsoft stopped production of
3.02 and doesn't have any available.  They are rushing out a special version
that includes the disks and just 20 pages of docs.  Suckers, uh I mean people,
who buy this get a coupon good for a free 4.0 when it's available.

I don't know what problems they are having but I do know that 4.0b15 was
incompatible with Apple's Multifinder 6.1a2.

By the way, I looked into my copy of 4.0b15 with ResEdit and what do you
think I found.... p-Code.  I thought Microsoft was going to ditch that
silly p-Code interpreter system and just compile directly to the 680x0.

Anybody care to comment?
