WordStar Anyone?

According to Echelon, Inc.'s Z-News 808, NOW is the time to get your wishlists in to MicroPro for CP/M WordStar 4.0. They seem to think where will be another update, if only to fix bugs.

On the other hand, I got a call from "Al" at MicroPro. Al was responding to my letter sent in December 1987. I had written because I didn't get a response to my telephone call and I didn't want to spend a lot of money on long distance telephone charges. It was mid-March when Al called. Al's message was clear, even if he didn't say it in so many words: I should be grateful that I got the new printer overlay that cured a few of the problems that I complained about, because they aren't going to do anything about my other complaints.

I don't know whether Al or Echelon is correct, and it only costs two lits to mail a letter to MicroPro telling them what you want (or have but don't want!), and it can't hurt. The worst MicroPro can do is ignore us, and it already seems to be doing that.
