Isn't it difficult to sell something like that when Emacs and LaTeX
are free? :-)
Somewhere around here I may still have photocopies of the printed
documentation from for that version, which a former employer allowed
me to clone for my own use. After using it a while, and growing tired
of the bugs and other annoyances, I soon began learning about more
pleasant and useful alternatives, such as text editors combined with
software like nroff, runoff. Idocs MINT, Lout, TeX/LaTeX etc. and
settled on the TeX/LaTeX and Emacs combination running on UNIX boxes.
Wow, I'm glad that I was never suckered into purchasing a copy of that
overpriced WP software. :-)
