My provider is moving away. It appears there may be at least a dozen other Fido boards in the Virginia Beach area and that which you've been using is the net's hub. Ask the sysop who's still around, who's taking over as hub, and ask another sysop to carry this echo (if not doing so already). --- Via Silver Xpress V4.4P [Reg] --- QM v1.30 * Origin: FOG-Line - Ankeny Iowa - 515-964-7937 (1:290/627.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: ECL00000 Date: 08/16/97 From: AUGUST ABOLINS Time: 01:52pm \/To: LARRY COHEN (Read 5 times) Subj: WP for DOS abandoned Hi Larry!

I plan to stretch that into a full year. I've already played on the inet and spent time WAITING for www info and graphics to get loaded. For me, the novely wore off within the first month. I now just use it to collect a few key newsgroups, and mailing lists. I've only used 2 hours of online time this month, and that is mostly with my automated programs that fetch and deliver mail fo me. I've recently learned that bit.listserve.wpcorp-l is one available. I'm going to check it out. .:. /ug --- FleetStreet 1.19+ * Origin: -- eXpress >< conneXions -- bancroft, ontario (1:253/60) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: ECL00001 Date: 08/14/97 From: KRIS STEENHAUT Time: 09:10am \/To: BILL WHITE (Read 5 times) Subj: WP for DOS abandoned Hello Bill! > TO: ALL in the FIDO WPERFECT netword > HardCopy to WordPerfect Magazine > We all knew this was coming, but I didn't think so > soon.

Furthemore, I think they (WordPerfect Magazine) have wiped out themselves completely know. The costumers interesse for WP under Windoze is rather bleak already, and now that Billy himself has abandoned Windxxx95, events will speedup in that way.

I'm going to have to do something, I suppose, although I hardly have time to handle the "slimmed-down" FidoNet activity any more. The withdrawal was painful, but Sprintnet did me a favor, forcing me to get a life, when it dropped PC Pursuit. :-) --- Via Silver Xpress V4.4P [Reg] --- QM v1.30 * Origin: FOG-Line - Ankeny Iowa - 515-964-7937 (1:290/627.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: ECP00000 Date: 08/18/97 From: STEPHEN KLIEGL Time: 06:49pm \/To: ALL (Read 4 times) Subj: Wp51 !!!
