The updated release includes support for NeXT Computer Inc.'s new NEXTSTEP operating system for Intel processors. The interim release also adds support for NEXTSTEP's drag and drop text feature and on-line help. "Programming for NEXTSTEP is a developer's dream" said Nathan Hatch, UNIX product marketing manager at WordPerfect Corporation. "Because of the way NEXTSTEP manages information, we were able to add powerful new features to this interim release in a relatively short amount of time." The program disks include multiple File Allocation Tables (FAT) allowing WordPerfect for NEXTSTEP to run on NEXTSTEP for Motorola-based proprietary machines as well as Intel-based 486 and Pentium personal computers. NEXTSTEP for Intel was introduced last month at NeXTWORLD EXPO in San Francisco. Two key new features in the interim release of WordPerfect for NeXT take advantage of advanced NEXTSTEP 3.0 technology. WordPerfect for NEXTSTEP's drag and drop feature lets users select text or graphics and move them anywhere within the same document, other opened WordPerfect documents, or other NEXTSTEP software applications that support the NEXTSTEP drag and drop feature. The drag and drop feature also lets users drag and drop file icons to open WordPerfect documents. WordPerfect for NEXTSTEP accepts WordPerfect, ASCII, WPG, TIFF, EPS, and RTF file formats. WordPerfect for NEXTSTEP documentation is tightly integrated with NEXTSTEP's own on-line documentation system allowing users to access both WordPerfect and NEXTSTEP on-line help from within WordPerfect. "Productivity software is an important component of NeXT's strategy to provide a client environment that fully integrates shrink wrapped applications with custom applications and legacy systems," said Julie Saffren, NeXT developer advocate. "We are please WordPerfect Corporation continues to support NEXTSTEP customers with current and next generation products." "These advances are steps toward WordPerfect Corporation's goal to develop a version of WordPerfect for NEXTSTEP that will be feature and file compatible with its DOS and Windows counterparts and take advantage of NeXT's technology," said Hatch.
