- Funny -= we have WP 5.1X. We have had no printing problems. However, we
- have had a host of other problems dealing with display, performance,
- macros and tables. We have also had problems with WP processes refusing
- to die, as well as WP processes refusing to live (the latter is more
- annoying). After 2 updates, the performance has been improved greatly,
- as we can actually run this on color machines (but not on our color 3/110
- Xterminals yet - thank heavens for bwtwo!). But now on the mono X-terminals
- ( assorted 3/50's 3/60's amd 3/75's) you can actually type in real time.
- (This was not the case before) and the screen won't refresh 8 million
- times a second. I honestly cannot reccomend this product to anyone, as it
- still has so many bugs, and does so many random, unexplained things.

- Opinionated and tunnel-visioned? Darn right. But then, my employer really
- doesn't know what I'm talking about anyway...
