    RE: Word Perfect viruses

     Hi,

     The only time I have ever had a Word Perfect problem like that was
   when someone was running TUTOR.COM and did not have WP.EXE in the
   TUTOR subdirectory (WP Corp. instructs people to create a separate
   subdirectory for TUTOR).  By making a copy of WP.EXE to the TUTOR
   directory or by copying all the Tutor files into the WP directory,
   this error would no longer occur.

     Also, Word Perfect 5.0 had a series of bugs on its first release which
   I contacted the company about--we received two updates.  I wasn't into
   Word Perfect when version 4.2 came out but I wouldn't be surprized that
   the earlier releases had some bizarre bugs too.  Have you contacted the
   Word Perfect Corporation?

            Hope this helps,

                                      Robert J. Morey
