Moving On Up / the transition to native PowerPC software

Your favorite applications are changing. As you read this, programmers are busily converting the applications you use every day, tuning them to take advantage of the Power Mac's PowerPC 601 processor. We called  the leading Mac-software vendors to find out when they plan to release native PowerPC versions of their applications. Some gave us exact target dates and some gave general time frames such as spring or summer -- for many, "spring" means within 30 days after the first Power Macs appear. "No firm plans" means the vendor has not yet decided when it will release a Power Mac version. / Patty Ames
