- Another reason for using WP over Word is that the GUI'zed WP is also
- avalable for Unix Workstations running the X Window System. This
- means that the same product can be used across MS Windows, Macs, and
- Sun Sparcstations (or other RISC-based Unix boxes).
-
- BTW, I think Word is an excellent product, and if Microsoft hadn't let
- its ego get in the way, I would probably be using Word on my Sparc :-)
