[OT] Wordperfect and other older progs
Talking about old files and compatibility in another thread reminded me that I have a folder (directory!) of WP 5.1 files that I have never been able to access successfully, without WP. I know I have the original WP installation floppies somewhere, but where? Pity I don't have a suitable drive now. Anyway, a quick search found http://www.oldversion.com/ and there was WP5.1 which I downloaded and installed, and it works! Amazing. TBH, there is nothing there that I particularly need, but quite fun to browse through old correspondence. Point is, if you have old inaccessible files, that site is a good place to find a matching program. -- Graeme |
