A few questions were asked about WordPerfect.  Since I'm stupid and
don't know how to add others messages into my own, I'll answer what I
remember.

First off, WordPerfect is not protected, so you can put the 6 SS disks
onto 3 DS disks.  If you put the master and speller on one disk, then
you're all set.  After setting up your printer list (which is a real
pain if you only have one floppy---constant swapping), this will be the
only disk you will use.  I haven't touched the other two disks in
months.

As for PostScript, WordPerfect supports different laser printers.
However, I don't think it supports PostScript (yet).  The latest version
was mostly a re-write of the entire printer code.  I'll check the README
file that came on the new disk and see what it says.
