HELP... I am at that stage, as a //e owner, where I am SERIOUSLY
considering acquiring a //GS and selling off my ol'faithfull //e.

I am also very concerned about the compatibility of my current software
with the new //GS.


I hope to keep at least 95% of my current //e software operational,
especially my CP/M stuff.

I also own WordPerfect for the //e but suspect that I would have no
trouble using it on a //GS (thought the dictionary is smaller -- oh
and while I'm at it... does WordPerfect Corp. offer upgrades to the
//e software so that you can obtain the //GS software?)

What types of software written for the ][, ][+, and //e WON'T
work on the //GS.

Any knowledgeable persons out there who have comments PLEASE reply..
I'm pretty sure that I want to buy the //GS and sell my //e but
any comments about the upgrade would be appreciated as well.

thanx all.
