First, Wordperfect:

	From various sources (distributors/sowtware store owners etc.) I
have learned that the promised release date for WP is the first week in
May.  Only a month, but it carries a hefty price of about $300.  Big bucks
to a fellow CS student like me.

Others:
	Scribble is nice.  A bit old fashioned, but nice.  Not WYSIWYG, so it
really doesn't count in you category.  I have only seen one other to fall in
you category.  Vizawrite, about $150 is advertized in all the latest Amiga
mags.  It offers headers, footers, graphics, fonts, WYSIWYG, and other 
MacWrite type features.  I am a hair's breath away from ordering it, but I
haven't been able to find someone who actually OWNS it!  I have seen discounts
of around $120 at other software houses so I assume it is available.

If anybody has anything to say about Vizawrite, good or bad, please tell me
now, before I make a big mistake and order a piece of junk!!!
