| It possessed a large and loyal user base in both the commercial and personal 
| consumer markets but, by 1994, its share of the word processor market had 
| begun to crumble in the face of a remorseless marketing campaign by 
| Microsoft, aided and abetted by Microsoft's dominance of the PC operating 
| system market. The company was sold to Novell that year for $1.4 billion, but 
| Novell passed it on to Corel 18 months later for just $20 million in cash and 
| $100 million in stock.
