I bought a used copy of WordPerfect.  I have the manual, the original
disks, and it was registered by the original owner.  After a time
I heard that there was an upgrade available.  I called WordPerfect
to find out what I needed to do to get the registration transferred
over to my name.  They needed the registration number (which I have)
and a letter from the original owner transferring his rights to me.
Unfortunately, the original owner sold it because he was in the process
of getting a divorce from his wife.  The last I heard of him, he was
living in a motel somewhere.  :-(  Anyway, I know someone who thinks
they can get in touch with him, so I'll get that taken care of eventually.

I use version 5.1 at work on a DOS machine and am VERY envious!  I'd
be happy if WordPerfect would just port over the non-graphics features
and release a 4.5 or something.  Perhaps now that the A3000 is out and
seems to be gaining popularity with the professional crowd we might be
able to talk WordPerfect into upgrading the Amiga version.
