Oh, decisions decisions... I just found a place near where I live
which sells Wordperfect/ST for $99.... And now that I know there is
a new version which has all the bugs fixed and works faster, I am so
tempted to buy it.
One question though - does anyone know if the Atari Development
section of Word Perfect plans to release a version which is comparable
to the just-released WORD PERFECT 5.1 on the Ms-Dos computers?
I am very close to getting PC-Speed or a PC clone and am wondering
if I should get the WP4.1/ST version WP5.1/PC.
If I knew that such a version was at least IN THE WORKS at Atari
Development I would gobble up this ST version instantly, especially
since I am such an ST patriot.. Does anyone have any news from the
company?

Indications that I have been given from a friend whose relative works for Word Perfect are that we will not see a version of 5.0 for the ST. I would not hold my breath in view of the long time it took to first get a reasonable version of WP, and then to get a 'bug-free' version. -- Kevin-john Conway ...a librarian from hell...
