What I found amusing about WP for Amiga is that it was all written in assembler, yet had one of the worst levels of performance I've ever seen in a "productivity" (?) package. In "big" companies like WP, their quest for standardization often stifles any creativity. They ported an old version of WP DOS to the Amiga, with the minimum level of GUI support. WP continues to be one of my least favorite products of all time. There's no way it should have achieved the level of success it has, but then, neither should MS-DOS have either. It seems that if a product can reach a point where "consultants" and "trainers" start to proliferate to "help" corporations use bad products, there's little to stop the snowball effect. This happened with Novell also, but at least they now have a pretty decent product. WP for Windows looks pretty, but as far as I can tell it's still inferior to the other two heavyweights (Word and AmiPro). Paul.
