GWIII is fine. It just needs a new version with bug fixes and a few more
features. Give it an accelerator and new "Word processing" capabilities
(like edit stories in one big window per story for speed, then close the
window and the changes go into the DTP document)

AWGS just isn't a good idea anymore. Now that there's SwitchIt and GNO and all
that stuff that lets you have more than one program in memory, integrated
software becomes meaningless. Not to mention very huge and clunky.
