Last December I called WP and asked for some information on WP for NeXTs
and for AIX.  I needed the info quickly.  They promised to fax it to me 
the NeXT :-) day.  Three weeks later (now January) I wrote them a letter to 
ask what happened to the information .  A week after that they sent the info 
on AIX but they said they had discontinued selling the NeXT version at the 
end of December.

It isn't the same company since Novell took over.  :-(
