- This is, of course, welcome news. Unfortunately, even though I understand
- the sometimes harsh realities of the software market, I find it difficult
- to chance spending $$$ on a product from a company with policies like
- WordPerfect Corp.
-
- I got burned by them when I purchased Amiga Wordperfect. I won't make the
- same mistake twice. Naturally, this is just my opinion, not advice.
