- Don't hold your breath. I guarantee it is a year closer than it was when I
- first heard a Claris programmer promise it 'Real Soon Now' and 18 months closer
- than a Claris hypeflack said it would be out before Word 5.0.

- Bottom line is that like all vaporware, it is a nonexistent object. If you even
- bother listening to what the developer tells you, you are giving them too much
- credit. The only relevant reliable info on MWPro is that it might be out soon
- and might have some new features and improvements that Claris has mentioned. On
- the other hand, it may end up with the same status as Modern Jazz, or Turbo
- Pascal 2.0, or any of a number of other forever-vapor programs.
