- Hans, the most recent release is 7.0a for WordStar, and I think Projektuser was
- referring to Word for Windows 2.0, not DOS Word, which I don't think had a
- version 2.0. OTOH, I endorse your suggestion that persons looking for a word
- processor at least consider Sprint, notwithstanding its age (three and a half
- years and counting) and Borland's unwillingness to upgrade it (a decision I
- suspect they will reverse in late 1993, as they engage in the Final Struggle
- with Microsoft, software's clash of the titans).
