Of course, we can't blame Corel here, because they have nothing to do with 
WordPerfect Magazine. Don't forget Coral bring out a brand new suite for Dos 
lately. and I am very pleased with it. Corel has NOT abandoned WPDos!

You did choose the wrong platform. I do run WordPercect 5.x and 6.0b and 6.2 
on Warp OS2. Besides other Dos gooddies.
Of course, I mostly run WP6.2 now. Anyway, I can use every single font, macro 
etc... that makes living with WP so happy. I only had to THINK about some 
settings, to create  the WP-session his own  autoexec.bat for instance. I 
even can start WP.COM two or three times, provided each session has it's own 
autoexec and a separate TEMP directory. (only depends on the memory on 
oard).
In fact, every thing YOU wish, is enterely possible with OS2. Of course, OS2 
is not an easy thing to start with. You have to do a lot of thinking and 
tweaking, at it takes at least 3 months to catch the basics. Rewards after 
that are enormous, then. So, it's up to you.
