Methinks this is more of a commentary on programming than on WordPerfect. Yes, there are many reasons for programming with high level languages, and few would argue with you here. Perhaps analysis of a software package should be withheld until you actually try using it. I have used WordPerfect for some time now, and prefer it to almost anything else available. I still use PC-Write for writing code, but for papers, etc., WordPerfect is extremely nice. As for current reviews, I have found most of them to be accurate, and can't criticize anyone who has written a review of WordPerfect. I still have yet to use all the features available, such as the merge and math utilities, but everything I have used has worked very well and I have not noticed any bugs. Perhaps this is because of extensive testing before the product ever gets out the door? I can't say for sure. My only problem is that all the other people who also use the same machine with WordPerfect on it also have their own color and backup directory preferences, and thus I have to reconfigure it everytime I use it. This only takes a few keystrokes, but I would like to have the option to call it up with a macro that does all that. Perhaps it can be done, but I haven't had the time to try to figure out how.
