The problems (regular GPFs here, on certain types of conversions) continued
throughout their Win-16 and Win-32 versions. Similar results on different
platforms, as I've run various upgrade versions under OS/2 or NT. In my
contacts with them, the WordPort people have been defensive and denying,
unwilling to acknowledge problems much less correct them. They have
subscriptions, or separately offer 4 for-charge updates a year . . . but
they have seen the last dime they will see from me.
