Cringely's rumor section: "AMIGUS, AMIGA, AMIGO There is always a black sheep or two, and our family has Uncle Murray and me. Murray is a kind of suburban mountain man who taught me as a child to recognize and follow the tracks of many animals -- foxes, deer, women. "Tell us about this job of yours, Bobby," Uncle Murray leered, draping his arm all too comfortably around Pammy. So I told them about WordPerfect 6.0 for OS/2, which will be ported from 6.0 for the *Commodore Amiga*. It seems that the Amiga operating system is the favored multitasker for WordPerfect programmers, who wrote WP 4.1 from scratch for the Amiga after the company had given up on a DOS port and sold the development machines to the programmers for home use" Enjoy. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
