- This new version solves the import/export problem for all owners of Win95. Just
- get hold of the free copy, install it on the machine you are moving docs
- to/from and when you want to import just use the Win95 version to do the
- conversion. (I assume of course that the Win95 file formats will be the same as
- the Amiga formats (Woody?). As for everyone else, quit the "Bah Humbug"
- attitude, and remember that Softwood have not stopped developing for the amiga,
- and if this new product brings in revenue for them then more amiga development
- will be possible.
-
- One more question. Since PC users are often a bit thick - who will be providing
- the massive amounts of tech support for this product - Softwood or the
- conversion company? And will you be distributing it via cover disks?
-
- Oh dear that was two questions. Time to go then.

- Matt.
