- OREM, UTAH, U.S.A., 1993 JAN 19 (NB) -- Wordperfect Corporation
- continues its promise to support OS/2 as well as Windows with an
- announcement that it will ship a graphical version of its popular word
- processing program Wordperfect 5.2 for IBM's OS/2 operating system
- this spring.
-
- The company has also announced that Wordperfect 5.2 for Windows,
- released in December, integrates with Digital Equipment Corporation's
- TeamLinks 1.0 for Windows.
-
- TeamLinks is an integrated workgroup program that enables PCs running
- under Windows to integrate into enterprise-wide networks and take
- advantage of Digital's electronic mail, file sharing, workflow, and
- other workgroup applications. "It's particularly useful for Windows
- users working in a VAX environment," Wordperfect spokesperson Liz
- Tanner told Newsbytes.
-
- Wordperfect 5.2 for OS/2 is being jointly developed by Micrografx,
- and uses the same feature set as Wordperfect 5.2 for Windows. Its
- file format is identical to that of Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS and 5.2
- for Windows, making files created in the OS/2 version compatible
- across the other platforms.
-
- The company says WP for OS/2 will also be compatible with Wordperfect
- Presentations and Wordperfect Office 4.0 for OS/2. Those programs are
- scheduled for release by the third quarter, Tanner told Newsbytes.
-
- Tanner said the company expects to ship Wordperfect for Windows 6.0
- in the spring or summer of 1993.
