I wonder what they'll tell me if I call them. Anyway, what WP does in the NeXT market will have a lot to do with how much money they make. Selling 10,000 to 50,000 copies of WP at $400 might change their minds. For now 5.0 is pretty close to their latest release. -Mike BTW: Did you call Lotus and ask them why they wrote Improv on the NeXT? I know a lot of DOS weenies are still trying to figure it out.
