Well from what I have just read in Znet or was it ST-Report, that
WordPerfect has droped Atari all together...
There was some thing about the Germans did not want a USA product
bundled with Atari computers,(about 10,000 units),
they wanted a German product instead..
WordPerfect did not like this, and decided that they could no longer
afford to support the Atari Version..

Correct me if I'am wrong, but this is the way I read it..
