Apparently this version didn’t come out until 1997, eight years after 5.1, after WordPerfect had changed hands twice (to Novell and then to Corel), after the game-changing Windows 95 had been out for over a year, and after WordPerfect 7 for Windows had been out for several months. And it might possibly have a virus.) I played around with this version of WordPerfect a bit, thinking it would be nothing more than an incremental update, but it’s actually quite a bit different than the classic program I spent six months learning back in the early 1990s. It has a few issues, but I think those might be the fault of the vDOSWP installer, which was kind of glitchy. It installed like a dream, and it actually works perfectly (lol) in vDOS.

So, while looking for a completely legal solution to this problem, I found an abandonware site with all sorts of versions of WordPerfect, so I decided to try the latest version of DOS WordPerfect, version 6.2. The ancient floppy disks I was using were corrupted, presumably from being baked in the desert heat in my parents’ dusty shed in the backyard. Remember that I had serious problems actually getting 5.1 to work. Yes, I actually took that screenshot in DOSBox running Corel WordPerfect 6.2. The menu bar had different options from the standard WP51 menu bar, and the path on the bottom of the screen was not C: WP51, but C: COREL WP62.

I’m sure some of you may have noticed my “WordPerfect 5.1” screenshot in my last post looked a little “off”. Sp1 professional.active, friendly discussion forums for getting help, especially with using macros, and for keepingthe.
