WORDPERFECT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES WORDPERFECT FOR NeXT INTERIM RELEASE
WordPerfect 1.01 for NeXT will Support NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors
Orem, Utah - March 16, 1993 - WordPerfect Corporation today announced plans to
include support for NeXTSTEP for Intel Processors in the upcoming interim
release of WordPerfect 1.01 for NeXT. The interim release will be available
concurrent with the release of NeXTSTEP for Intel processors which is
scheduled to ship on May 25, 1993.
"With this interim release, our intent is to update WordPerfect's NeXTSTEP and
Intel support," said Gordon Mella, UNIX product marketing manager at
WordPerfect Corporation. "NeXTSTEP for Intel processors offers software
developers new opportunities to improve on existing software products. We
want to capitalize on those opportunities and provide the latest word
processing technology for our NeXT users."
The WordPerfect for NeXT interim release will not affect the current version
number (1.01), but it will include two key new features that take advantage of
NeXTSTEP 3.0 technology.
WordPerfect for NeXT's new drag and drop feature allows users to move blocks
of text and graphics with a mouse. The interim release will also include the
Integrated Help System for quicker, easier on-line help.
"Productivity software is an important component of NeXT's strategy to provide
a client environment that fully integrates shrink wrapped applications with
custom applications and legacy systems," said Julie Saffren, NeXT developer
advocate. "We are very pleased that WordPerfect Corporation plans to continue
to support NeXTSTEP customers with current and next generation products."
"The new development does not change WordPerfect Corporation's commitment to
continue development on a future version of WordPerfect for NeXT that will be
feature and file compatible with its DOS and Windows counterparts," Mella
said.
