- OS/2 came with a patch that can be applied to the Word Perfect for Windoze
- .EXE file. The patch program is called WPFIX.EXE, FIXWP.EXE, or something
- like that. Look in the MDOS and WINOS directories. It's somewhere in there.
- The patch does not affect the operability of WP so it will work under
- Windoze or WINOS2.
- However, if I can make a recommendation. The original WP for Windoze was
- very buggy. Get the interim release that they came out with if you don't
- already have it. Call WP.
