[unix-pc.general] WordPerfect on the Unix PC

isaac@gethen.UUCP (Isaac Rabinovitch) (05/22/88)

I got several messages from WP-hungry people demanding to know where
they could get the Unix version of WordPerfect.  This made me stop and
think about where I saw information about this program, and that
revealed an embarassing fact:  the only reason I think this product
exists is I've seen it advertised by WordPerfect Inc.  That probably
means it's Vaporware, 'cause the same ad showed WP running on the Mac
(which version only recently appeared) and the Amiga (which I think is
still in development).  You could contact WordPerect Inc. directly, but
you'll probably have to satisfy yourselves with my apology.

Not quite.  I've had WordPerfect operating on my Amiga since August 1987.
