- WordPerfect V6.0 and CorelDRAW! V3.0 will certainly be out by the end of the
- year. I will likley have a beta of the latter for demonstration purposes in the
- next few weeks. AMI Pro should be on the way too.

- I spoke to a *just* former Borland rep who said that though the company line
- was FOR OS/2, they were dragging their heels on actually porting all their
- apps to OS/2. May be in 9 months or a year was the message. The reason (or at
- least one of them) was that they were behind on a couple of projects and that
- they wanted to dedicate available resources to bringing those out before
- committing fresh resources to OS/2.
-
- Lotus 1,2,3 V2.0 for OS/2 is in beta at the moment. There are others - many -
- but I can't think of them at the moment.
