   Hmmm. An anonymous poster provides 'proof' but almost no way to
verify the claims. Anyone with a word processing program and a laser
printer can make up a letterhead for any relatively-unknown company
they care to mention, and after a pass thru a photocopier, who can
tell whether it's legitimate? Sure, an address was posted for this
company in MA, but has anyone other than the people who *lied* about
the reclassification before (and those supporting the lie) verified
the claim?

   You were proven wrong last time by a storm of people able to
contact Corel and determine the state of WP themselves. Now, almost
zero information except for a mythic sheet of paper in the hands of a
proven liar. I'd like a lot more info first, preferably a post *by*
the company in question (c'mon-- this is late 90s: everyone and
their cat is on the internet, especially computer-related companies),
etc.
