Some beta testers found some more bugs, and as you already heard, the new release will be out *hopefully* by the end of April. WordPerfect is hoping that this will be the *last update* for the ST until the Atari market in the U.S. "picks up". This release is available to all registered users (of course) *who request and update*. Yup, that's right, they have no plans at present to automatically upgrade everyone. In the U.S., you can call WordPerfect (1-800-321-3271) and get your name put on an upgrade-requested list. Otherwise I guess you'll just have to keep calling your distributer about the availability, and hope that the release doesn't get pushed even further that the four months it is already "late". -- Diane Barlow Close {uunet, crash, ucsd}!cacilj!close close@cacilj.uucp Free Canada -- Trade Mulroney
