Microsoft Word 5.0 works under VP/ix 1.01.01 (sic) with came with ISC
386/ix 2.0.2, provided you either (1) obtain the 'Word 5.00 "Disk Full"
Patch' diskette, or (2) always run Word in DOS partitions instead of UNIX
directories.

Word 5.5 has the same problem as 5.0, but as of Friday, Jan 5, Microsoft
had not come up with a patch disk.  They say they're working on it.  Feel
free to call (800) 426-9400 between 6:30 and 5:30 Pacific time to ask about
it.  The number of people with the problem no doubt affects the speed with
which they'll complete it.
