Fascinating!  I'd no idea WP had maintained and upgraded a Windows 5
version once 6 was released or that there was a "plus version" other
than DOS 5.1, but I wasn't doing anything but DOS at the time, which
is to say I wasn't paying much attention to what was happening with
the Windows versions.

What I've done in WPW 5.2 installations is to set it to use Windows
printer drivers and Windows TrueType fonts, so it's been immaterial
whether WPW itself has the correct driver as long as Windows has it.
