I used to be a dedicated wp 5.1 user mainly because i had over two thousand medical fact files i had to maintain but eventually the difficult interface with windows forced me to switch to .rtf files due to universal availability of wordpad in windows (works fine with Word too). So, i took the plunge last year and glad i did. It was getting too hard to share files with the rest of the world and the cut and paste method was too clunky. Printing from dos wp5.1 also a chore. There are free programs that convert wp 5.1 file to .rtf, although any complex formatting may be lost. I converted all my files command line very quickly. I then downloaded Jarte for free, this works right over wordpad with additional features (even more if you pay upgrade). the reason for Jarte is quick lookup and retreival, i find word too slow (& pricey). What i miss is the shell macro ability though. As far as DP, I'm looking forward to Gerards win8 64 bit solution. merry DP christmas to all, jon ong

Thanks! (Will it work also with DP 2.3 or only with a newer version of DP?) Excuse my additional question, because it does not concern directly this matter: Does this software perhaps make run also WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS on a Win7 or Win8 platform (64 bits)? Regards, Valentin (Austria) (Sorry, Charles, first I failed to send this email to the Group) >>> Gerard van Loenhout <[email protected]> 14.12.2013 10:52 >>> Charles ( and others), give me a week or two and I will present you software that makes DP work with 64 bits. It's fantastic under Win 7 and Win 8. And No need of Tame. I stumbled across this guy on the internet, who lives 50 miles from me. I will meet him soon and we will finetune his software. By the way, it's free. And easy to use. Source code, all available if someone needs it. Regards, Gerard Op 13 dec. 2013 om 15:54 heeft "Charles G.

Question: Does DP and other DOS programs work with Windows 8? Thanks.
