# I appreciate any information you can give me. Thanks.

Catherine:

I have been following the development schedule for the next version of
WP  very closely, as we do translations, and WP has, IMO, the easiest
interface to work with and one of the best foreign language
dictionaries (at least in Spanish and French.)

Last time I talked to the WP people, THEY did not know when or if there
will be a 6.1c, a 6.2, or if they will go all out and bring 7.0. As far
as features, I hear they are trying to get their fax receive module to
recognize distinctive ringing, and I also believe they want the new
version to import files from more software packages than the present
one (6.0b) does.

So if they don't know about their release schedule, either you have
some amazing mind readers in your MIS department, or else for some
reason they are pulling your leg.
