ABUSIVE!?  I apologize if I came off as abusive.  I was merely pointing
out the existence of WordPerfect for almost any platform imaginable.  I
wondered why someone would want to emulate it (call it simple curiosity). 
A number of people have suggested that they already own WP for Mac and
don't want to buy another. 

One thing to consider, however, is that the proposed pricing of Executor
is around or a little above that of WP (don't know about WP alone, but WP,
Caldera ND, and NeXS for Unix bundle for ~300 so WP is presumably
cheaper).  If WP is the only thing you plan on running...  HOWEVER, before
you start screaming back at me, I realize that the beta price of executor
might be more economical.

Please don't assume that the purpose of any question asked of you on the 
net is to abuse or ridicule you.  I was simply suggesting an alternative 
that may or may not be reasonable for your situation.

Again, apologies for being taken as abusive.
