WP 5.0 for UNIX has been available for the various 386 UNIX systems
for quite some time, and for the NCR Tower. WP 5.0 was recently
announced for Sun SPARC systems (but not for other SPARC systems).
WordPerfect Corp. will announce 5.0 for a couple of other platforms
early next year. An 88open BCS version is one of the first ones.
As far as I know, there aren't as of yet any plans for a port of
WP 5.0 to Pyramid's. But things may change. A version that runs
under OSF/Motif is in the works. This is supposedly a Motif-ied
version of WP for Windows.
