    You may wish to think twice about getting Wordperfect 4.2 for its LW
ability.  It does not speak Postscript.  What it does do, is download a
printer program to the LW and print to that.  The printer program source is
included (because it has to be copied to the printer).  The printer is a 2
font style printer with multiple font sizes (the fonts are Helvetica and
Times). 

    With some work, it looks like I can hack a better printer, but it's not
quite what I had expected from WP.
