I have been running WordPerfect 5.1 from Windows 3.0 since last summer with
no real problems on a Northgate 386/20Mhz with 4 MB memory, DOS 4.0.
My PIF file is as follows:
Program Filename: C:\WP51\WP.EXE
Window Title: WordPerfect
Optional Parameters: /w=*,700 /r
Startup Directory: c:\WP
Memory Requirements: KB Required 358 KB Desired 640
Display Useage: Full Screen
No unusual advanced options are set.
The /w=*,700 allows WordPerfect to use all available conventional memory and
up to 700KB of expanded memory. The /r switch loads menus and overlays into
expanded memory.
I have also been using DrawPerfect 1.1 with a similar PIF with no problems.
