WP SIX.0 for DOS Lives!
            
            
            WordPerfect for DOS development continues
   Version 6.0c has entered beta testing
  
   WordPerfect 6.0c for DOS entered beta testing last week and offers DOS
  users enhanced SoftSolutions 4.0a integration, fax dial-out instructions, greater
  file conversion capabilities, and more macro system variables.  The interim
  release is faster, uses less RAM, and graphic image display can be turned off
  for even quicker screen redraw. In addition, a number of user-identified
  problems have been fixed.
  
   Enhancements Explained
  
                             ú  Enhanced SoftSolutions 4.0a integration -Working with
        SoftSolutions is faster in 6.0c because communication with
        SoftSolutions is handled through executable commands which are part
        of WP.EXE.  By eliminating the macros, WordPerfect 6.0c frees up an
        additional 25-30k of conventional memory, and users no longer have
        to wait for the large macro to execute. WordPerfect users will also feel
        more comfortable now that SoftSolutions uses standard WordPerfect
        dialog boxes.
        
                             ú  Fax dial-out instructions -You can set up eight different Dial-out
        Instruction entries that automatically add prefixes and suffixes to phone
        numbers in the fax phone book.  For example, if you have the number
        of a customer in New York City listed in your phone book as (212)
        555-5555, the Dial-out Instruction Entry to fax from the Novell Orem
        offices,  automatically adds the prefix  of "9."  You can also have
        entries for sending faxes from home or a hotel room.  You can even
        include information about calling cards, etc. to help automate the
        fax-sending process.
        
                             ú  Greater File Conversion Capabilities -Converting files to
        WPDOS 6.0c is a snap.  You now have the same file conversion
        capabilities found in WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows, including
        conversion for MS Word 6.0 for Windows.
        
                             ú  Printed Pages System Variables -The printed pages system
        variables allow a user to determine the number of pages printed in the
        last print job, as well as the total number of pages printed during a
        word processing session. This feature is especially valuable to
        businesses which need to bill their customers based on the number of
        pages printed.  Without the printed pages variable, a worker would
        have to manually keep track of the number of pages printed for each
        customer.  Now the printed pages variable will automatically create
        their billing information and save them time and money.  
        
                             ú  Memory/Speed -WordPerfect 6.0c frees up some additional
        conventional memory, allowing overall program speed to increase.
        
                             ú  Graphic Image Display -Once you have the graphic image in your
        document you can "turn off" the display of that image.  This can save
        time as you move graphics around and navigate the pages of the
        document without the screen having to be redraw after every change.
        
                             ú  Fixes -A number of fixes have been made in WordPerfect 6.0c that
        greatly increase the program's usability, as well as improve document
        and graphic file conversions.
        
                             ú  PIN -In response to the top user enhancement request, WordPerfect
        6.0c provides a place to store PIN in the WordPerfect Information
        screen.
