- not true (but what else could be xpected from MB?)
-
- Word perfect is a very old program, with a user-hostile user interface.
- People who bought amigas expect a more user-friendly prgrm than that.
- Either they want power and buy AmigaTeX, or they want user-friendliness, and
- Final Copy (and others) are competing on this niche, or they buy amax and just
- run a Mac program.
-
- Word perfect can only suceed in a PC market with customers with low
- expectations.

- PS: What we need is frame maker!
