   Well, Amiga has got WP, from what people say, it's not all that great,
   but I use it for all my papers and I think it's just fine.  Now there is
   DBMAN, which is (from what I hear) a compiler that compiles DBASE code, I
   guess that it needs more advertising or something.  I think that a better
   word processor choice would be MS Word, even though the wordprocessors 
   available on the Amiga are pretty good, they don't have MS Word's notoriety.

Version 4.2 of WP exists for the Amiga, and has for a couple of years.
And I've heard several Amiga people state the word processing isn't up
to par on the Amiga.
