WordPerfect for DOS 5.1

[Al Hartman]

Not necessarily true...

My Wordperfect 5 for DOS came with a Bitstream Font
engine that added Bitstream fonts to WordPerfect for
DOS.

I was NOT limited to the Printer Fonts, though I had
an HP LaserJet and a special WordPerfect Font
Cartridge for that which added many standard fonts to
the Printer as well...

This functionality was later added into WPDOS 6.x...

If I had to, I could do ALL of my current
WordProcessing needs on WPDOS 5.x or 6.x, and I did
for quite a while...
