Here are the consolidated answers to the original question from
Brian Fuhs (b-fuhs@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu):

     Word Perfect does handle many languages.  However, for the program to
     allow spell checking, it must have the correct file for each language.
     For the version of German that I need, this file is WP{WP}DE.LEX.  Does
     anyone out there know a BBS number I could call to download it?  A smail
     address or telephone number to write in for it?  Better still, does
     anyone have a copy of the file that they could send me over INet?  I am
     assuming, as this is just an addition to the program and I do actually
     own a copy of Word Perfect 5.2 for Windoze (soon to upgrade to 6.0 for
     OS/2, I hope...), that this file transfer would be legal.  Someone please
     tell me if its not.

I don't have it, but I'd like it. Would you be so kind as to forward what
you receive about this?


Sender: Mike Ross (miker@sol.metaware.com)

I sincerely doubt that your request is legal. At least
for WordPerfect, I can assure you it isn't. Wordperfect
charges real American dollars for additional Language
modules. Call them.
