As long as we're talking about upgrades, what differance are there from
version 2.0 and 2.1. I know 2.0 didn't have mail merge and it ran on a
64K unenhanced IIe. That's all I could tell after two years of going
from (to me) retro 2.1 to 2.0 at RMHS. I had to go back to 2.1 because I
needed tab stops and that would screw up the backwards compadibility.
After my sophmore year, they dumped the Apple IIs, and I had to use
AppleWorks GS and ClarisWorks.
