Speaking of that, some of my install disks are bad. I have a legal copy, but I am having a hard time finding a way to replace the bad disks. A wares site allows download of WP 5.1, but I really want 6.0. Why doesn't Corel or whoever owns WordPerfect 6.0 Dos release it to the public domain? I think my backup copy of WordPerfect 6.0 dos works, but it's acting weird. I wrote a lot of papers using Wordperfect 6.0 dos, it's a nice piece of software. Getting replacement install disks for it these days though is tough. I think 6.2 is the last dos version of WordPerfect. Surprisingly, I found a lot of sites talking about how to install Wordperfect 6.0 for dos on an XP system. These days, openoffice is my word processor of choice. On a freedos system, that isn't an option. I wish freedos had a free word processor that is comparable to WordPerfect 6.0 for dos. I don't expect freedos 1.1 to have a free word processor, but it would be nice if there was some action to include one eventually. It's illegal to let someone who doesn't own WordPerfect get a copy from you for free, but what if I could download an image of just the 2 or 3 disks that have gone bad? If I'm a liar and I don't have WordPerfect 6.0 dos, I won't get it by downloading 1 or 2 of the install disks. I have Wordperfect Suite 8 on CD, but freedos doesn't have a gui that is compatible with Windows 95. At least not yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
