- I called WordPerfect the other day and got some info you
- might be interested in. According to the lady who helped
- me, they are working on three applications for OS/2 2.0.
- They are WordPerfect (of course), WP Office, and
- Presentations.
-
- WordPerfect is now in "pre-release," but the only date
- she could give me for any of the apps was "1993." She
- did say that it will be version 6.0 of WP and it is being
- written as a pure 32 bit application. She said the DOS
- version should be out in January or so and she assumed
- that the OS/2 version would be out a month or two after
- that. She said it would be priced the same as the
- DOS version. She also took my name and promised to call
- back when she got more info.
-
- It is a bit aggravating that it is taking them so long to
- get their word processor out. They are trying to integrate
- the interface on all machines with version 6.0,
- so maybe they have an excuse to take so long, but I am
- getting impatient. I figure that if they can't give me
- better info in the next month or so, I will take a more
- serious look at AMI Pro and Describe. I hate to leave
- a company that gives such exellent support, but I want
- REAL apps, now!
-
- Oh well, enough ranting. I hope this interested someone...
