WP 6.0 was so full of bugs our systems support staff refused to touch
it after a brief and disastrous effort at implementation.

The latest version (6.0A)is much improved but staff on our LAN (about
200 users) have been warned not to use it until thorough testing has
been completed.

I like to live dangerously and am using 6.0 to create an on-line
manual for financial analysts. The hypertext feature allows me to set
up a complex web of related documents easily and quickly.

Generally, I have found the revised edition of 6.0 relatively reliable
and pleasant to use. I understand release of various versions doesn't
always happen simultaneously in the US and Canada. I'd be interested
to know if others are using a different version and have experienced
difficulties...
