Ben,
I have to agree with Don. I can only place this next in a time frame, by
saying it was a couple months before Wordperfect said they were going to
leave the Amiga market. But at that time I talked to two people at A-T who
said that the Amiga was seriously being studied. I can't vouch for their
veracity, and I haven't spoken to them since, but they were certainly aware
of the Amiga then, and claimed to be actively keeping an eye on it.
A glop of phone calls out of the blue would smell too much like exactly
what it is. If you want to try it, I suggest being a little more subtle,
and spread the inquiries out over time. But I doubt it's effectiveness.
But I also don't see Don's last scenario happening. A-T wouldn't do the
port to begin with unless they saw a decent business market already in
place. Remember Wordperfect began development before anybody knew how well
the Amiga would do.
