I don't know about that. Actually, I had some of the later versions of WP for DOS that had a graphical interface, used TruType fonts, and had features galore, including inserting and manipulating many types of graphic formats. maybe I am nostalgic a bit, but all this worked in 16 mb or less RAM, and was stable as hell. You could switch back and forth from a DOS look to a graphical one. Backwards compatibility was fantastic. Interestingly enough, there are many professional transcriptionists that still prefer WP over Word, especailly since they have medical and legal versions. Too bad when Novell bought them, they let the whole thing wither while Word took over - the WP support was the best ever (except for RBase, of course!) - they had a Disc jockey that played music and told you how many people in the queue and approximately how long it would take to get to your call every two minutes or so. Way too cool. Besides, Emily Post insists that one break bread with your hands..... That's like say you prefer to break bread with your hands rather than using a knife.

Too bad Novell has no clue how to market itself..... WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS (circa 1990) is in many ways a better wordprocessing program than any version of M$ Word.
