Does anyone if WordPerfect 5.1 (an older DOS word
processing program) can be installed and used in DOS
which is running on an XP Home operating system?
 
I have done it but you will have problem accessing printers. Also, DOS
fonts in XP look bad.

Offhand, I can't remember but if you want to know for sure, search this
newsgroup, or consult with a Corel Word Perfect Support forum.

Start with this Google link:

Meantime ... just try it. Install it via the Compatibility wizard and
see if it works for you. Should.
