BS> I use 5.1 regularly and 6.0 too. 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 --- BS> I use 5.1 regularly and 6.0 too. Don't get on Internet, BS> so I can't help with web stuff. BS> --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.
