--- 132 column display with WordPerfect ---

We tried out the Tseng Labs "Ultrapak-S" board that does 132x44
(and 132x28 and 132x25 and 80x25) with WordPerfect 4.1 and Lotus 123
Ver 2 and Qwiknet.  Works fine with all of them.  Good support from
Tseng Labs, too.

Turned out we didn't like the eyestrain of the 132x44 display (teeny-
tiny letters and numbers) and decided we could live without seeing
everything at once: we just slide that 80x25 window across the page.
This was more the fault of our screensize, though, than the font.

(Usual disclaimer about relations with manufacturers.  PS: WordPerfect
is great.  Don't you just pity those poor souls who are looking for
indexing and table-of-contents programs for WordSt*r?)
