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. --X
