    You've got a point there... I've only seen WordPerfect 5.0 running on a GS
with a PCT.  The coloured text was very sharp on the GS' monitor, but I didn't
see any graphics.  I did use SoftPC running on a Mac IIcx ones.  Now that
you've brought up the point, it did seem kind of slow.  I wasn't doing
anything heavy-duty, but innocent things like a scrolling directory listing
seemed awfully slow.
