I had the same confusing problem and finally got the following information
directly from WordPerfect, by way of my dealer in Calgary.

4.2 is out and runs on Xenix and I just installed it on my SCO UNIX
386SX clone.

5.0 is very nearly out for Xenix only.

5.1 will be out sometime in the late summer time frame...


>Anyone out there have an idea _when_ the product will be released?


By the way I have had no problems with 4.2 on SCO UNIX to this point. I am
disappointed however that I cannot get BitStreeam font support for WP 4.2
and support seems questionable for 5.0.

Good Luck
