I haven't used WP for unix as yet, but I've experienced their support on other
non-DOS platforms.  I have half a dozen Data General machines running various
versions of WP accross the country.  We have never had any problems getting
good support from WordPerfect on any type of equipment.  (The revs do drag
behind a bit though :( )  A particular revision may not be so super, but WP has
THE best support organization I've run accross. 

Shawn.
