I'd suggest you try running WordPerfect cause it is working PERFECTLY for me. If you make your fonts 8 point non-proportional there are no problem. If you make the menus font something else (but leave the default screen font the same) the menus come up just fine but they look a little off. The only way you can cause it not to work is by making the default screen font something other than the normal font, and then it doesn't crash its just that the display is all garbled. >-- > There are two ways to improve on human factors in computing: > to make the programmers less stupid and/or to make the users less stupid. > Both are necessary, but neither is likely. > -Dale Larson, Digital Teddy Bear (dlarson@blake.acs.washington.edu) -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu "If Commodore had to market sushi they'd call it `raw cold fish'" -- The Bandito, inevitably stolen from someone else
