WP is one of the doggiest (as in s l o w) programs I use. Under 2.0, I had to use public_screens to have WP open onto a 2color screen, becuase at 718x480x3b.p. it is _way_ to painful to use. I do like the portability, and it's advance features, but there are too many unsung programs on the Amiga that get the job done faster, better, and easier. As far as the Amiga Market, I think WP, Lotus, and MicroSoft can go rot in the sespool of PissyDos land they helped create. (Like where I work. :-)) Has anyone in an OS class ever noticed how they always use MSdos as an example of how _NOT_ to do it. Sorry, I am diverging.
