It's just as well. I have played with a pirated copy of WordPerfect. That's right, a pirate. It didn't take too terribly long before I bought a copy of ProWrite and formatted those disks. WordPerfect is a fine word cruncher for PC's, but for any well made machine with a decent user environment, it blows pianos through straws. So my response to WordPerfect Corp is GOOD RIDDANCE!! While I share your general attitude towards WordPerfect (any non-WYSIWYG wordprocessor in 1989 is simply not worth my time), I detect an *ever-so-slight* dose of sour grapes here. WordPerfect's people probably don't read the net, y'know..... -- Robert Jude Kudla Pi-Rho America \\ /// "Shooting stars never stop, 2346 15th St. \\ /// even when they reach the top."
