- Kyle, last I heard, WPC still supported WP Amiga, but were not putting any
- effort into further development. The 800 number should still be good.
-
- WP's latest version is 4.1.12 and costs 15 to 25 clams US I beleive. I still
- use it occasionally on my 3000 so I don't suppose there will be any
- compatability problems.
-
- As for the template, I'm almost tempted to send ya mine, but you never know..
- At any rate, I figure WPC will honor your registration on sight of the original
- disks. Most companies will, at least as far as I've experienced.
