SUCCESS....FINALLY

I received yesterday the Wordperfect 5.1 update sent to me by their support
organization.  My original date for 5.1 (obtained from the upper left
portion of the screen after pressing F3) was 10/6/89.  The update package
of disks (which seemed to be all of the original disks) now have a release
date of 12/31/90.  The Deskjet Plus printer help screen from those disks
now has a date in January 1991.

Good news:  The printing is now full speed with this version of
Wordperfect.  Heavy graphics pages (with multiple TIF images) formally taking
20 minutes to print are 2 minutes.  Tables which printed so very slowly, a
few pixels per sweep now are using the entire print head.  What a great
difference. 

I suggest any one having a Deskjet PLUS or 500 contact WordPerfect for the
12/31/90 version of 5.1.

Good luck 
Joe Martinka
