I need to be able to edit documents created on MS-DOS machines with
WordPerfect 5.0.  I also need to be able to output the resulting
document in some form that is readable by WordPerfect under MS-DOS.  I
have a Mac II and use MS Word 4.0.  I am willing to use MacWrite II or
any other Mac word processor if I must.  Are there alternatives to
using the Mac version of WordPerfect?  I've not read good things about
the Mac WordPerfect product and I am a bit leery.

Since my Mac can't read 3.5 disks formatted for a PC I have been using
Kermit to transfer text format files between machines.  This is
getting tedious.  What alternatives should I consider in order to read
disks written by MS DOS machines.  I'm not sure if I'll need to read
5.25 floppies or if I'll be able to get away with only 3.5 inch
diskettes.

Please send your responses to me directly.  
If anybody would like me to post a summary, send me mail and I will oblige.
