<<Mr. Epstein,

Some months ago I received an email from you concerning, or coming from
Tom Turley (I really don't remember which.) In a note on the asimov
site, Mr. Turley claims that you once owned the copyrights to
WordPerfect for the Apple II line of computers. Can you tell me if that
is so, and, if so, how you obtained the copyrights? The latter could be
helpful in an attempt to locate the source code to the software.

Thank you.

Roy Miller

I obtained the rights and full ownership to Word Perfect for the Apple IIe,  IIc
and IIgs from Word Perfect Corporation of Orem, Utah in March, 1990.

I gave all rights, copyright and full ownership for Word Perfect for the Apple
IIe,  IIc version 1.1 and IIgs version 2.1a6 to Charles Thomas Turley on
December 12, 2000.

The source code for the programs were not furnished to me and were never made
available.  I was informed that the programmers had erased several segments in
error during the versions development.  During 1991 and 1992 I attempted to
locate the programmers to see if I might be able to obtain any of the programs
source code.

Jeffrey R. Wilson, SSI Apple Development wrote the conf. program for the IIe and
IIc version of Word Perfect.  Other programmers of Word Perfect for the Apple
IIgs were Michael D. Burton, David J. Hamilton, Tood Wood, Kevin D. McCoy, Dan
Burton, Dale Taylor, Byron Bruce, Alan Ashton, Doug Davies, Dave Wellington,
Brent Hawthorn and Barry Watts.

I had no success with that effort.

Larry Epstein
