We like it too, compared to WP for Dos and Windows, and even the Mac WP (Have you rebooted your Mac today?). However, It is lacking tables and equations, two things that chemistry and Mol Bio secretaries tend to need to type a lot. however, your statement "I'm going to buy the next version when it comes out" is where the rub is... I'll repeat myself, in case you missed it. THERE WILL BE NO FUTURE NeXT VERSION OF WORDPERFECT UNLESS YOU ASK FOR IT. PERIOD. THE END. Call Brent McKinley, WP Unix Product Managerat 801 228 7272 and tell him that you like the product, and your university will buy a copy for every NeXT they own (or at least 1 for every 8 ;-) if Version 6.0 comes out in a quality NeXT release. Debating this on the network is not going to help, because WP is does not read news or otherwise monitor this group. - geoff -- "The only thing obsoleted by Windows 3.1 is poking myself in the eye with a pointed stick." - Gene Lee --------------------------------------------------------------- Geoffrey Brunkhorst, RCF brunkhorst@Mayo.edu Guggenheim 10 (507) 284-1805 Mayo Foundation, Rochester MN, 55905 USA fax (507) 284-5231
