WORD PERFECT 5.0 MAINTENANCE RELEASE
There is a new version of WP5.0 dated 7/1/88 which we are calling
the first maintenance release. The software is available free of charge
to authorized 5.0 users.
If you call or write WPCorp or SoftCopy (81 N. State Street, Orem,
Utah 84057) (800/222-9409-SoftCopy, 800/321-4566-Orders, 800/321-5906-
Support, or 801/225-5000-Info Services), we will send the maintenance
release via US Mail (which, believe it or not, is faster than UPS).
In your letter (or during your phone call) be sure to mention your
license number (if you ordered a 5.0 update, use your license number from
4.2 or 4.1), your media, your printer or printers, and of course your
name, address, and phone number. You can also order the update via
CompuServe by sending an Easyplex request to Mary Jo Rench at 71531,3331.
If you have ordered Bitstream Fontware already, the maintenance
release will be included *without your having to request it*. This
should start shipping the end of this week. The maintenance release
includes WP1, WP2, PTR, Conversion, and the requested printer drivers.
If you work in an office with more than one copy of 5.0, we would
sincerely appreciate your ordering one copy of the new release and using
these diskettes to update all authorized copies in your office. We
already have more than 300,000 copies of 5.0 out there, so any help in
reducing the number of copies we have to ship is very appreciated.
The maintenance release has a lot of little things as well as a
couple of surprises. The Text In/Out problems closing files is fixed.
The Interupt 7F call we were making to check for that IBM monitor is not
made anymore. It was a legal thing to do, but we have worked around it
so the Compaq ROM upgrade is no longer necessary, the Hardcard ROM
upgrade is no longer necessary, and the network version will work on the
ELS network (Novell's Entry Level System is what ELS stands for I
believe.
From the Alt-F9 (Graphics) key you can now press List Files to see a
list of files so you can look around for the graphic file you are trying
to find. *And* the "Ignore Words with Numbers" option on the Spell key
is back because of popular demand, which proves not all reruns are bad.
We are going to notify all our 5.0 registered and update customers
with a postcard explaining the availability of the new release. You can
wait for your postcard, or call any of the WPCorp numbers as soon as you
want.
