I wonder if one can still find an older version of WordPerfect out
there. I used and loved WP for a long time, until I found that it was
simply not interoperable with Word, which everyone else was using.

I think the last version I used was 6. And it was great.

TaB

P.S. Yes, I found WP 6.1 on eBay. $98.00 Buy It Now. That says
something about the application, doesn't it?
