WordPerfect for Apple IIs

[lorin.evans@tcs.wap.org (Lorin Evans)]

   Charles Turley made an announcement on this conferences that he had
"arranged" with the Corel Corporation for them to release as "Freeware" the
wordprocessor program WordPerfect for the Apple IIc/e and IIGS.
 
   Washington Apple Pi has been in direct contact with Corel to ascertain the
real status of the program.  The bottom line from Corel follows:
 
======================
                                 February 13, 1997
 
 
Dear Mr. Evans:
 
After some rather exhaustive research, we have established that Corel
does not own WordPerfect for the Apple II and therefore cannot grant
permission for the product to be distributed as freeware.
 
It appears that WordPerfect Corp. sold WordPerfect for the Apple II in its
entirety several years ago. Corel has no records of the sale, and is
unable to provide any additional information.
 
Regretfully,
 
Heather Boyer
Product Manager, Corel WordPerfect for Macintosh
Corel, Inc.
