I sent a note to Pete saying pretty much the same as you just described,
right after Steve posted his message. Pete replied within a few hours. His
comment was that WPC had really tried to bring an updated version of WP to
the Amiga, but even with CBM's help, the 'tools' and 'links' for the
program were too large, and that it had nothing to do with the resources
(RAM) the user would have at their disposal.
Those comments left me a bit bewildered because I'm not sure what he
meant… and I didn't feel it was my place to 'bug' him about it (I had
just wanted to let my views be known to him… I didn't expect a reply in
the first place).
I did get the impression, that he is one very 'straight-up' kinda guy, with
nothing to hide, and no axe to grind. I also got the impression that if it
were truly feasible for WPC to do a good Amiga port, they would have done
so, and in the future, may still.
