- -> WordPerfect only did V5.0 for OS/2. It looks just like the DOS
- -> version.
-
- And because it's only 5.0, it is missing a few features. :-(
-
- -> I heard from an IBMer today that WordPerfect are *now*
- -> advertising for WordPerfect V6.0 for OS/2 in a US mag.
-
- Only because they bought space a long time ago. WPos2 6.0 is
- not even in beta testing yet. Wait until ComDex for some serious
- information regarding release date and pricing (probably standard
- pricing)
-
- -> This will be the *big* one. Watch for it. At the moment, you may
- -> have to order OS/2 programs in stores. The more people who
- -> order, the more likely stores are to have them on the shelves.
-
- In North America, WPCorp has a very strong marketing structure.
- It will appear, almost guaranteed, in every WP store on the
- continent. Of course, their international marketing isn't quite as
- strong. Where are you serviced out of? Sydney, the U.S. direct,
- the U.K? Get in touch with your regional/national marketing
- representative by contacting the Pacific office in Sydney. Get
- information from him whenever possible. He is NOT the best source
- of inside information (WPCorp doesn't trust them to keep secrets)
- but he will keep you up-to-date on the progress of WPos2. Expect to
- see the U.K. version released in numbers about two weeks after the
- U.S. release. Then it's a matter of how long it takes stock to make
- it down there.
