My concern about continued WP support is not whether I get WP 5.0 for
the ST with all its DTP enhancements, but whether file
interchangeability will be supported.  We use MS-DOS machines at work,
and I want to be sure that I can continue to interchange files between
them and my Atari.  At present I can stick an MS-DOS disk in the Atari
and read/write WP files -- will that continue?
