- Hi !
-
- we here use wordperfect on a Soft-AT version for teaching Wordperfect in a
- Mac Environment. It can be used on a ci for writing up to three pages, then
- it goes a bit down with the speed. (The average Speed is like a 6 MHz AT on a
- ci). At the quadras and the fx, Speed is much better. The Soft-AT is very fast,
- really compatible (you can even read MS-DOS CDs under Soft-AT with an Apple
- CD-ROM Drive) and easy to use. Dont use the Universal Soft-PC, it is muc
- slower !.
