MacWrite Pro 1.5v3?

What are the differences between 1.0v4 & 1.5v3? Is there a way to get 1.5v3? I have 1.0v4, but if there's not much of a difference... I haven't been able to find 1.5. Thanks.

I know for sure that 1.5 was shipped on 1.4MB floppies and 1.0 on 800K disks. Outside of that I think the packaging and maybe a few of the features regarding QuickTime, System 7.5 features (AppleGuide, perhaps), etc were updated or enhanced.

Good luck finding any MacWrite--they show up very infrequently on eBay. I was very fortunate to find a boxed copy of MacWrite II this past spring although I had to be on my computer at the last second of the auction to make sure I got it!

Isn't that insane? I wanted to collect a copy of all the original Apple software (MacWrite, MacPaint, MacTerminal, MacProject & MacDraw) and it isn't easy. Try nabbing a copy of MacPascal too. Lots of Hypercard though...and easily one of the best programs ever made.
