====================Press release==================

Summer has passed and the leaves are turning, a point often considered
the end of one life and the imperceptible beginnings of another in
a cycle that has no real beginning or ending. As it is with nature
so it goes with the endeavors of humans, nations rise and fall, hemlines
reveal more or less, and businesses prosper then fail, nothing is
constant except the eternal Tao.

Beagle Bros has closed it's business doors. The reasons are varied
and sundry and the "what if's" are probably best left for nit-picking
historians, I do not care to comment on it at this time. However the
demise of BeagleWorks is only superficial.  BeagleWorks has been acquired
by WordPerfect Corporation and will rise anew under a different name.
Rest assured the list of registered users is part of the deal and
you will be supported. Flash has will be handled by Quality Computers
as our Apple II products currently are.

Most of the employees were hired almost immediately by local computer
firms, some are leaving the area to take jobs out of state. Surprisingly
for being in an economic "recession" there are a lot of software companies
looking for employees. Personally I will take a sabbatical for a while
and search for a future course, maybe it's time for major change in
direction. I have my G.I. Bill to use up and will probably start school
next semester. For the meantime I am remaining on here for a few weeks
as a caretaker and to help with the transition. However, the phone
lines have been disconnected and calling Beagle Bros will get you
the intercept operator and a recording to callWordPerfect:

WordPerfect Tech Support - 801-228-9901
WordPerfect BBS - 801-225-4415
 
You may also start checking the WordPerfect area here on AOL. The
Beagle area will terminate in a week or so.

I can't say much more at this time, it's tough to see this happen
especially after putting ones heart and soul into the software. Farewell
my friends, it's been a blast.
