- So I got the i patch installed last week. Runs nice, fast, smoother it
- seems. My first real test? Importing a file from wordperfect5 for dos.
- The i version Fails this elementary test. This is on a very simple
- file, with no formatting beyond bold, strikeout, tabs and indents.
- None of the formatting was caught by 3i.

- One of the earliest patches of version 3 DID work correctly on
- importing WP4.1 (amiga) files, but that hasn't worked right for a year
- or so now, and the latest is no better. All the soft-returns in the
- file are thrown away instead of being replaced by spaces.
-
- Too bad.
