yesterday the "Corel World Tour" held a press conference in Munich. I was
there because writing for some special-interest journals is one of my
favourite alternatives to writing manuals.
Corel said they intend to re-establish WP. Considering their success of their
business suite in the U.S. they should be able to do it.
BTW: They showed Corel Ventura 7 - a complete rewrite. Rumors were that no
one dared to touch the GEM kernel of the old Ventura. For Ventura veterans
this
demonstration was quite stunning - most of what they showed was in the
PageMaker domain before. But until now I even refused to install Win95 or
WinNT...
