affiliate of Vector Capital. (fyi-last month Corel acquired Roxio)
Thanks. I didn't know either of those things.

Not as far as I know. But if that's correct and you have a reference
to it, I'd like to see it. Can you provide a URL?
You're right, that's ten-year-old news. Corel is now 100% owned by Corel
Holdings, which in turn is in a partnership with Vector Capital (per
Wikipedia).
However, the latest WordPerfect does read and write the most formats AFAIK.
6.0 was a disaster. It was laden with bugs.
OK, that's fine. I'm not trying to talk you into getting a later
version. But please note that the statement "I don't have a need for
anything so sophisticated now" is a *very* different one from
"WordPerfect 5.1 was (is?) far and away the best wordprocessing
program." Yes, but 5.1 was good, but the versions have been getting
better and better all the time.
Anyone remember TSE44 Pro (The Semware Editor).... Still using it
on my Ultimate box, a totally programmable software, to your own
liking for unlimited sized length of file editing... which I've
integrated into File Commander, as a point, shoot and open.....
Gosh... why don't you all go back to Kindergarten!!!
:----)))) AH THE GOOD OLD DAYS....... I REMEMBER THEM WELL!

Corel Holdings *is* the partnership that owns Corel. The partnership
(Corel Holdings) is controlled by an affiliate of Vector Capital. An
affiliate can be a business entity (e.g. Printronix which may control
one or more businesses) or a single person (the affiliate responsible
for the sole business). Vector Capital creates funds (portfolios) that
allow private equity investments (people, families, municipal govt,
venture capital firms, etc.) in its holdings.
It's still alive! I always wanted it, but it couldn't justify the
price. It's still quite expensive - $119 (for a DOS editor?!?)

I still use an excellent DOS editor called Aurora. It was never quite
finished and polished by the author before he abandoned it, but it has
some features that I've never found in another text editor.
