Subject: WordPerfect 5.1 on DOSEMU 1.4.0 (wow!)

Sirs/Madams,
I just wanted to let you know that WordPerfect 5.1 runs nearly
perfectly on the latest DOSEMU, and it was easy (even for a Linux
newbie like me) to set up on Kubuntu.
As far as I can tell, everything in WP works just like it should
(well, with the exception of a tiny F5-F5 feature that doesn't work
on recent Windows versions either), and I'm absolutely impressed!
If the DOS box were just a little bigger (i.e. bigger with clean
fonts), I wouldn't even know I wasn't running DR-OpenDOS 7.02 (which
I run also). No delays, no crashes (so far!), and no surprises!
[I tried installing another small DOS program with sound, and it
worked perfectly too.]
Maybe I will be able to say "Hasta la Vista!" to Windows! I never
upgraded past 98SE and I tried my first Linux distribution in 1999
(Caldera OpenLinux) and several since then but couldn't get them bug
free or functional enough to make the effort worthwhile to switch.
Now, I see no reason not to switch to Linux! Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
David Testardi
