For the most part dos moves well between machines.
Did have trouble with cutemouse & jemmex. On
some machines they hang up.
What is the difference between Lubuntu & Ubuntu.
What difference does the L make.

I run my pure DOS on a CF chip and move it from one
machine to another on a cf chip. Try doing that with windows.
Running DOS on windows is like turning it into a parasite.

It is pure dos abandoned when corel went to windows.
Sounded like it came out of the trash can type.
It is somewhat unfinished - a few nasty bugs but nothing
to make it unusable. There was no documentation
with it. Just a corel factory made cd.
Its a pity they quit on it.

unreleased intermediate version of wordperfect?
And of course, what is included? Which license?
Cheers, Eric

release prior to 4.0. When he left the company is when thing started to go
