I made enqiries about WP for BSD unix in November 1989. WP Corp made it
quite clear to me then that they had no intention of releasing a BSD version.

In shear frustration I obtained an Ultrix version but alas - it only partially
worked under BSD4.3 on our Microvax. However, all the screen handling seemed
to work OK and I was impressed at the ease of use and the speed.

If Wp Corp now have a BSD version - please let me know because I will buy
it pronto.
