I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the application base for MS Windows 3.0. I know Windows will run any DOS app but I'm interested in apps specifically written for Windows. I see Lotus finally has a windows version... WordPerfect doesn't... but what is the overall market like? -- _______________________________________________________________________ / / / / Brian J.

WordPerfect for windows should hit the streets in a month or two . actually , Lotus does not have a windows version of 1-2-3 ( there is an OS/2 version , and , of course , they distribute Ami Pro , a windows based word processor ) , but Excel is a better spreadsheet anyway . i cannot think of a major category of software which does not have multiple windows representations , and the shareware market is pretty good , too ... -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ "Imagination keeps the shadows away - Xymox @ @~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@ @ a.stranger - CMS2839@ritvax.isc.rit.edu @

Looks preety good too (look at previous post). I suppose we'll be plugging along with Wordperfect for Dos v. 5.1 till then... its only 2 months though 8-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Iskandar Taib | The only thing worse than Peach ala Internet: NTAIB@AQUA.UCS.INDIANA.EDU | Frog is Frog ala Peach Bitnet: NTAIB@IUBACS ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
