This is, of course, welcome news.  Unfortunately, even though I understand  
the sometimes harsh realities of the software market, I find it difficult  
to chance spending $$$ on a product from a company with policies like  
WordPerfect Corp.

I got burned by them when I purchased Amiga Wordperfect.  I won't make the  
same mistake twice.  Naturally, this is just my opinion, not advice.
