- A WP rep dropped by my store yesterday to give us a demp of WP
- Demonstrations.
-
- He was a well informed man who was giving us a real push about the 'new'
- *upgrade* for DOS/WIN 5.2.
-
- As my bosses devoured his every word (Lehigh sites WP, adn sells a lot of
- Windows copies...God know's why), I sat patiently, ready to inquire about
- OS/2.
-
- I got the impression that WP for OS/2 will be out at least a quater after
- WP 6.0. IT seems that teh DOS 6.0 version should 'knock our socks off'. He
- wouldn't let the cat out of the bag, but look for a GIU, and integration
- for graphics with WP Presentations.
-
- So, there will be know 5.2 for OS/2 (Heck, there never was a 5.1). 6.0
- should be out within 9 months, with full 32 bit capabilities.
-
- I could not get out of him why production is lagging. He hinted that a PM
- version of WP could possibly aslo incorporate WP PResentations right into
- WP 6.0 for OS/2. That would be a step in the right direction.
-
- Keep in mind these are assumptions derived from his answers and attitude.
- The only pure fact I have is upcoming 5.2 releases, and teh emminent GUI
- 6.0 version for DOS.
-
- Too bad...I guess I will have to continue usend Word 2.0, that is until I
- can get my hands Describe 4.0 (3.0 demo is way crippled to give a
- resonable test too).
-
-
- just some scoop,
