No, sorry for your memory, but that's not right. Wordperfect Corporation
released WP.6.0 DOS, WP6.0a, WP6.0b and 6.0c Dos. After that they went
full Windows, and leaving their own territory, they collapsed consequentely
n
a few months. I am very sad about that, but it's the painfull truth.
Novell didn't pay for any soft, they aquired simply the Wordperfect shares &
stockshares. That's also what Corel did. Corel did buy most WP shares, but
Novell did buy a majority of Corel's shares. So, it's a small world, anyway.
Groeten uit Gent,
