I'm not Larry :-), but I did call WP a while ago to find out what was holding
up the new release (supposed to be out in January).  Some beta testers found
some more bugs, and as you already heard, the new release will be out 
*hopefully* by the end of April.  WordPerfect is hoping that this will be the
*last update* for the ST until the Atari market in the U.S. "picks up".

This release is available to all registered users (of course) *who request and
update*.  Yup, that's right, they have no plans at present to automatically
upgrade everyone.  In the U.S., you can call WordPerfect (1-800-321-3271) and
get your name put on an upgrade-requested list.  Otherwise I guess you'll
just have to keep calling your distributer about the availability, and hope
that the release doesn't get pushed even further that the four months it is
already "late".
