Who has this mystery copy of WordPerfect that RUNS on the 3000? I am having
severe difficulty getting WordPerfect to function correctly under 2.0 on my
Amiga 2500/30. It randomly locks up, and gets into little feedback loops
doing nothing for long periods of time. It's 4.1 I think, and has the
requesters and all that junk. I talked to work perfect and they said that
they were thinking about a fix(?!) for 2.0 machines. I've talked to other
people, some were talking about 4.1.9(?!) which the WordPerfect person knew
naught. What's going on here?
What version of WordPerfect are we up to now? Is it 4.1.9? And is there
going to be a fix for 2.0? I'd like to know before I decide to do an upgrade
of any sort...

I just got it a week ago, so I haven't fully tested it. A couple of times I would try to start it up and nothing would happen, so I would try to figure out what was wrong, and about a minute or two later the WP window would suddenly appear. I haven't been able to reproduce this effect, however. AMC

There has been at least one more recent update. I have been running it on my computer A500/2.0 without any problem as of yet. Maybe it is the version of Kickstart/Workbench that you have. john macdonald

I haven't ordered the update, so I can't verify that it's been fixed, though. -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org
