I think the need here is the original files. If a licence is the issue,
I have a licensed WordPerfect 5 or 6 for DOS license I'd be glad to sell
someone. It specifies that it applies to earlier versions. I also have a
license for Corel Office 7, but I don't know whether that covers earlier
versions.

Hi Kristen,
Lincoln, you had me excited that WP5.1 was now been given away free by
Corel, but alas this link is for some of the extra files and not the
core program. The Vetusware looks like the original but I would run a
virus checker over it... But I am sure that this does not have a
licence. If you have your own licence and it is just to replace media
thenthis might be a good way to go...
I tried Corel's legal dept a couple of years ago to see if they would
make WP5.1 for DOS available, and they said no way Jose, I even asked
if I could buy a current version licence and use the old version
instead and they also gave me the same reply. (Thats a real shame
because right up to the Corel acquiisition you could backgrade a
current licence to any version for any operating system up to that
version)
I wanted to get about 10 licences a few years ago, and I only managed
to buy one cheap copy from eBay, it was advertised as having a licence
but when it arrived there was no licence number... It did not cost
much but it was a lesson...
The reason I wanted so many WP5.1 was that I found in a similar the
way that DP can be used on the web, so WP5.1 could be used on the web.
I had an example, or rather, a proof of concept, running on an old
webserver. It was backended with a DP database. WP5.1 could generate a
complex 50 page merge document and deliver it back as a PDF to the
browser in about 30 seconds. I didn't do anything serious with it,
because I couild not find enough licences to make it viable, and the
opportunity I had for this project has now gone.
You can also look on the http://www.wpuniverse.com/ site and ask the
members there... Somewhere around there must be a pile of WP licences
and media stached away
Bye
Brian
