- ABUSIVE!? I apologize if I came off as abusive. I was merely pointing
- out the existence of WordPerfect for almost any platform imaginable. I
- wondered why someone would want to emulate it (call it simple curiosity).
- A number of people have suggested that they already own WP for Mac and
- don't want to buy another.

- One thing to consider, however, is that the proposed pricing of Executor
- is around or a little above that of WP (don't know about WP alone, but WP,
- Caldera ND, and NeXS for Unix bundle for ~300 so WP is presumably
- cheaper). If WP is the only thing you plan on running... HOWEVER, before
- you start screaming back at me, I realize that the beta price of executor
- might be more economical.

- Please don't assume that the purpose of any question asked of you on the
- net is to abuse or ridicule you. I was simply suggesting an alternative
- that may or may not be reasonable for your situation.
-
- Again, apologies for being taken as abusive.
