I've been with WordPerfect since version 4.1 (six years or so) and have yet to find a reason to switch to anything else (except WordPerfect for Windows when it's released). Prior to using WordPerfect, I was an experienced user of Microsoft Word, and Wordstar before that. While I have seen other products that have excellent features (such as Word's "undo" versus WordPerfect's less powerful "undelete"), nothing else gets the overall job done for me as well as WordPerfect does. And I'm not alone in feeling this way; we have about eight technical writers who are satisfied users of WordPerfect (several of whom migrated to it from Word). Note that this isn't a religious issue for me. If somebody dictated that I use a different word processor, I'd still get my job done. But I would become less productive and lament the loss of an old friend. Frank Calloway
