I am having problems running WordPerfect 5.0 with VP/ix 1.1.  I have
installed WP, but whenever I invoke it, I get an ERROR:288 on the first 
screen of WP and when I try to exit, I get an ERROR:5.  It also tries
to force me to insert WP Disk 2.

I talked to WP support and they said that they do not support WordPerfect
5.0 under VP/ix.  They did mention that they had heard of some people who
have gotten it working.  Are you out there?  

Also, overall, I think that SCO did a lousy job on its documentation with
regards to VP/ix.  From what I have learned so far, it seems that VP/ix
is still to buggy to be entirely dependent.  Anybody else agree?

P.S.  Has anybody has success in executing programs from pre-existing 
partitions with VP/ix?  (if so, let me know)

Thanks for any help you could send my way.
