The article this is a follow-up to asks people to request that WordPerfect
continue Atari support. I think that's what they want to do already. There
is a WordPerfect display in the Atari booth at the present Comdex. The
WP representative seems enthusiastic. If there are ever enough TOS machines
out there to make it an attractive market, I suspect WP will be back fast.
In particular, I think they realize that slow sales are due to the small user
base and intense competition, rather than theft of software.
An aside: when I looked, WP seemed to have some problems running in the
configuration displayed (latest TOS 1.4, which people seemed to believe was
the production version; MEGA 4). If it's running smoothly on Thursday, that
should be evidence of continuing support.
