I never said Commodore paid $.01, only that it cost WP Corp. $X to port
WP.  I believe the discussion was along the lines 'would it be worthwhile
to port product XXX given its expected sales?'  I certainly don't think
1-2-3 would sell nearly as well as WordPerfect.

BTW, I tried to email you (Ethan), but for some reason my machine doesn't know
about your machine :)  routeto also isn't working here.  If you give me
your bang address I'll send it that route.
