Thanks for the info, but I must say that that strikes me as rather weird. One
of the things that made AppleWorks the st seller it is today is the ease with
which the user could expand it. I would think that a smart policy to further
the popularity of AWGS would be to send the file formats to anyone who would
take them. Oh well. I suppose he doesn't even have an Email address, huh?
BTW, I know that you probably didn't decide on this policy, and I thank you
for the information.
