We recently upgraded our network DrawPerfect program to WordPerfect's new
WP Presentations - so far I am NOT impressed.  The features available in
the program look great but I've had nothing but trouble trying to get it
installed.  After several days and several reinstalls everything seemed
pretty stable except that trying to print anything to a network printer
either caused the PC to hang or printed only parts of the document.

After calling WP support, I was told that the program needs 180K free
conventional memory after WPP is loaded in order to print - I have
526K free before loading WPP (and that's after unloading non-essentials)
but after loading WPP there is only 129K free - almost 400K for this
program!  (My 12Mb of extended memory doesn't seem to matter...WPP
recognizes it but evidently doesn't use it for printing.) So I guess
unless our network users have about 580K free AFTER the network software
is loaded WPP isn't going to print... and according to the support rep
that have no plans to change this...

Has anyone else tried this program on a network?  I'm ready to heave it
in the nearest trashcan at this point...
