	According to WordPerfect Corp. they are not totally giving up on the
Amiga.  They are still making updates to the 4.1 version of WP for it, they
are at about 4.1.9+ right now, the latest upgrade was just a few months
ago.  I think they are waiting to see what is happening with Commodore, if
the Christmas campaign is successful and the Amiga starts selling I bet
we see the new WP when they finish up the Mac version of 6.0 but if
the ad campaign fails and sales stay the same or dwindle I doubt very much
if you will ever see any new development from WP for the Amiga.
