In article <1990Nov25.211633.11216@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu>, jpl5@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu (Jay P Lessler) says: >If you can wait until Spring, Word Perfect for windows is coming out then. > >With any luck, it'll have both a windows environment and a text-only >environment for those of us who have WYSIWYG. Ami Professional and Word for Windows are both available now. Unless you are a die-hard WordPerfect fan, I can't think of any compelling reasons to wait for it. Microsoft Word is available for the Macintosh, Windows, and character-based DOS environments with substantially similar user interfaces. Current versions on these three platforms are 4.0, 1.1, and 5.5. Microsoft Word for Presentation Manager will also share the same unser interface and is scheduled to ship in a few weeks. If you are willing to live with a different user interface, you also have Microsoft Word for OS/2 and Word for Unix. Both of these are character based and are practically identical to Microsoft Word 5.0 for DOS. <=- Hubert
