WordPerfect 5.nada
John…
As I said, the product failed because it failed to address the special
needs and interface considerations of the Amiga platform. The product
failed for that reason, and a host of others. The reasons are the fault of
WP Corp, and no one else. Further, it is WP Corp that could have fixed
those problems, but failed to have the foresight to do so.
I am not abdicating that they continue to sell an unprofitable product on
(what YOU call) an unpopular platform. I am merely stating that WP Corp
should (have) addressed the specific needs of the platform in order to make
their product more popular.
Concering the 60 day story…it is the development costs that were claimed
to be recovered by WP Corp. in the initial 60 days. You can't take into
consideration the original PC code as part of the development cost, because
as was pointed out, all projects are self-financed. They are inter-related
in no way.
Anyways, John, as far as looking like a PC-duck and acting like a PC-duck,
that's the kind of thinking that gets a WP type company into trouble.
Does the Mac version of WP look like a PC port?
