I don't suppose they've set a price yet?

Although I have the free V5.1a (I think), I've never installed it because
I mostly use Describe for word processing and 1-2-3 for the odd occasion 
when I need a spreadsheet.

So my big wonderment is for anyone who's got SO 6.0, does it support 
UTF-8 (or some flavor of Unicode)?
