I HATE WORDPERFECT!!!!  -- thanks just had to get that off my chest

ok, we have many pc's running just about every version of WP known to
the state of UTAH. and I have found out that WP's conversion sucks.
being a WORDSTAR lover, in their 5.5 release they have a conversion
program that converts WP files better than WP's own program. It also
supports wildcards. We actually had better luck moving WP 4.2 to 5.0
by converting it to a wordstar file and then back to WP 5.0!!

I called WP support in Utah about this and I got the same drone message
they give you for EVERY problem you will ever have with WP

"reinstall from orig disks - thank-you."
