[WinMac] Mac to Win cross-platform SW upgrades

The decision has been made--we're moving to mostly WIN95 and WINNT. By the
end of the month, our department will go from 65 Mac/40 Win to 10 Mac/84
Win. I'm disappointed, but I will carry on. :-(

I have hundreds of Mac SW titles that I want to transfer to WIN95 or WINNT
wherever possible. Some companies will allow cross-platform swaps at an
upgrade price. Some (e.g. Quark) definitely won't allow cross-platform swaps
as upgrades, and I'm forced to purchase new licenses for the Win systems.

I still have to contact my primary SW source, Adobe, directly.

How have your cross-platform software upgrades gone?

I've set my Reply To: address to reply to the group and myself.
