Funny -= we have WP 5.1X. We have had no printing problems. However, we
have had a host of other problems dealing with display, performance,
macros and tables. We have also had problems with WP processes refusing
to die, as well as WP processes refusing to live (the latter is more
annoying). After 2 updates, the performance has been improved greatly,
as we can actually run this on color machines (but not on our color 3/110
Xterminals yet - thank heavens for bwtwo!). But now on the mono X-terminals
( assorted 3/50's 3/60's amd 3/75's) you can actually type in real time.
(This was not the case before) and the screen won't refresh 8 million
times a second. I honestly cannot reccomend this product to anyone, as it
still has so many bugs, and does so many random, unexplained things.

Opinionated and tunnel-visioned? Darn right. But then, my employer really
doesn't know what I'm talking about anyway...
