- A while ago, there was a very negative discussion of WordPerfect (maybe
- 5.0?). Now, WordPerfect has released 5.1, which supposedly supports
- Xwindows in addition to character terminals.
-
- As I recall, much of the problems centered around WordPerfect's abuse
- of the unix spooler system. Has this changed? Should I consider WP
- 5.1 now?

- Thanks,
