Or, assuming you bought the program and did not pirate it, you've already
invested anything from $70 (upgrade) to $150 (new install) on the new
version.  You might want to add memory to your IIc instead.  A 1MB card
should not be that hard to find and for the investment you've already spent
on the AW4 program, you would even do well to find a souped up used
IIc.  This is better than letting a good program and good money go to
waste.
