	WORDPERFECT DOES RUN UNDER 2.0! It just does. If you make
everything a non-proportional 8 point font everything works just
fine. I am running under a newly bought A3000, not a dealer model
and not a Beta. This is the release version.
	It is beginning to sound like there may have been a mixup
in what version was shipped with some models, however...
