What have I been up to lately? Just getting #WordPerfect for #DOS to run in DOSBox. It even prints, sort of, by way of PostScript files.

I can’t wait to play around with this even more. I actually used WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS as a kid, and I have fond memories of it.

A screenshot of a DOSBox running WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS in a window. A “cheat sheet” document I authored is open, which is supposed to prove that I know my way around the program.

Aah, yes.
'Are other copies of Word Perfect currently running?'
Said the annoying message when your system would crash out with sometimes an 'A20 Hardware Error.'
I remember the days...

@FreakyFwoof Fortunately for me, I ran into very few errors with WordPerfect back in the day. That said, I do remember those particular glitches!
