   NeXT is supporting third parties who are porting X, contrary to

Any word on when a version will ship?  I'd like to tell people that
the NeXT does X, but I'd hate to think that I was promising them
vaporware.

Is Word Perfect shipping yet?  They said that they would ship around
the middle of December(1990).  I hope that it's file compatible with
the DOS version.  Having the world's most popular word processor on
the NeXT will make a lot of people happy.
