- We like it too, compared to WP for Dos and Windows, and even the
- Mac WP (Have you rebooted your Mac today?). However, It is lacking tables
- and equations, two things that chemistry and Mol Bio secretaries
- tend to need to type a lot.
-
- however, your statement "I'm going to buy the next version when it comes out"
- is where the rub is...
-
- I'll repeat myself, in case you missed it.
-
- THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE NeXT VERSION OF WORDPERFECT UNLESS YOU ASK
- FOR IT. PERIOD. THE END.
-
- Call Brent McKinley, WP Unix Product Managerat 801 228 7272 and
- tell him that you like the product, and your university will buy a copy for
- every NeXT they own (or at least 1 for every 8 ;-) if Version 6.0 comes
- out in a quality NeXT release.
-
- Debating this on the network is not going to help, because WP is
- does not read news or otherwise monitor this group.
