- The fact that there is no file conversion needed to work in Windown
- is irrelevant to upgrading to FM Pro 2.0. If you ask me the single best
- reason to upgrade is to get the new Script Editor. It's amazing. There
- is also a lot more support for System 7, and there is also no support
- for Quicktime. And that is just the tip of the new capabilities.
