No need. Long ago they said despite malicious ("jealous rival")
attacks on some Mac mag forums, everything they do is above board and
their code is propriety by design, not licence or PD. So I guess the
most I can hope for is some AppleScript to run MW documents through
the program for RTF conversion which Abi accepts.
