In the WordPerfect Report, Summer 1993, they state that they are
discontinuing Apple, Amiga, and Atari phone support as of June 30.  They will
offer support by mail to WordPerfect Corp., Macintosh Support MS G-100, 1555
N Technology Way, Orem, UT 84057-2399.

I may wish that they were still upgrading the Apple II versions of WP, but I
do appreciate that they have been upfront about their business decisions. 
They've let Apple, Atari, and Amiga users know well in advance that those
products would no longer be upgraded and offered those users considerable
discounts if they wished to purchase another WP package.

I find it somewhat ironic that the editors of the WP Report seem to think
that _Apple_ means (only) Apple II.
