- You just answered your own question. Call the 800 number.

- They have stopped _development_ on the Amiga, but their incredibly good
- (and free!) tech support was still there a couple of months ago when I last
- called (I've been a registered owner for 5 years). They will probably ask
- for original disks or front page of manual to register you as the new
- owner. An upgrade to the latest cost me $10, including shipping.

- The real shame is that too few people bought WP for Amiga to justify
- bringing out WP 5 with some graphical support. WP is not my favorite on
- other platforms (I prefer MS Word) but it has all the features you need for
- professional writing. In its final version the Amiga menus and file
- requesters are quite good. Printer support is also exceptional. In addition
- to the hundreds of standard drivers, there is a program that lets you
- create your own custom drivers to make almost any printer do whatever its
- hardware can manage.
