Well Eddie, WordPerfect continues to support 5.1 with periodic
technical updates.  Rest assured, WP won't leave such a huge
installed base out in the cold.  As for a 5.5 or 6.0 release,
I haven't heard anything.

The big news from WordPerfect lately has been the release of
the Mac 2.0 product.  It was hailed by MacUser as the most 
powerful word processor available for the Mac. And... yes,
there is a Windows product scheduled for release soon.  Though
originally scheduled to ship this month, the WP folks at
Comdex told us to expect it in August. :-(  WordPerfect for
Windows is apparently taking a little longer in development
than they had planned but it is supposedly in early early
beta.  The version shown at Comdex looked great and ran(!)
well (as opposed to the Lotus Win product which crashed 
during a demo.)

Anyway, considering WP's track record, when it is released,
it will probably knock the socks off MS Word, Ami, et. al.
Just my opinion.

Oh, BTW, WP also announced a cheap upgrade offer for users
of 5.1, 5.0, AND 4.2(if you still have _that_ :-).

Hope this helps.
