- Wow, that's funny: A WP rep was at my store last week and told me that WP
- 6.0 for OS/2 (as is *should* be called), will be full 32 bit. They are not
- going to release ot for a while. He hinted that they are incorp[orating Wp
- Presentations into the PM edition of WP, though it sounded more like an
- idea.
-
- I wouldn't hold my breath for this: He was big on the DOS version of 6.0,m
- and its GUI. Plus, ther is 5.2 now shipping, which more of less fixes many
- of the WP for WIN bugs (who ever would have though of bugs?)

- Brian,
-
- I am sorry to see yopu go. THough I too have asked you to tone your
- bias down, I commend you on your recent posts (most of them, you still
- sqeeze some stuff in =} ) I do like seeing what's up with NT. I'm
- sorry you take it personally. I jsut find it funny how you suddenly
- say that your view fit elsewhere. What changed here? Besides, I still
- like hearing how NT runs DOS well, but crashes most of them. Still
- can't figure that one out. If you change your mind, just remember to
- pick up where you left off.
