I didn't receive the original message, Bob, just your reply.

I've used 5.1 since 1990 and continue to use it now (as a task under OS/2), 
since it offers the speed and power a professional writer needs (I'm a 
professional translator) without the bloat and slowness of "modern" (i.e. 
Windows) word processors.
I recently bought a postscript printer to enable me to continue using 5.1 for 
at least a little while. This gives me the font control of all the Windows 
versions without the above disadvantages.
Incidently, after 5.1 was released I waited for years for a "worthy" 
successor. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting. Presumably I'll eventually have 
to migrate to some Windows word processor... but I doubt that it will be 
WordPerfect, the WordStar of the 90's ;-(((
Cheers, Bob

Both of those are for DOS, right?  I have 6.0 installed but don't know how to 
quite use it.  Also when I got Win95 installed it came with 6.1 for windows.  
I'm sitting on 5.1 until I get a Win95 WP where I can use the long filenames 
for sorting files.
