 A regional manager for WordPerfect Corporation did a demo at our Amiga
user's group meeting last night (April 6th).  This question was, of course
one of the first he got hit with.  The answer was.... Yes and No. 
He said there will not be a "5.x" on the Amiga, but there WILL be a
"6.x". They are skipping 5, because they have reserved 6 as the starting
point for versions that feature a "graphical" user interface. So what
you get in Amiga WP 6.x will be like PC WP 5.0, plus a graphical
interface. As a matter of interest, he said 6.x for the PC will be
an OS/2 product (implying NOT-DOS???). With all the stuff that's in there
already, I can imagine they would be hard pressed to go much farther in
640K.
