I presently have a computer that has a hard drive with Dos 6.2 as an operating system. I use Word Perfect 5.1 for all my customer billing files. This hard drive is failing. I have another computer with Win 98 on it that is running fine. Before the drive with Dos on it fails completely I would like to install it in the second computer as a primary slave and copy my billing files to the second computer's primary hard drive. Then I have to re-install WP51 on to the second computer's primary. Does anyone know if WP5.1 for Dos will run under Win 98's Dos prompt? That is can I install it on a Win 98 computer? My other problem is that the copy of WP51 which is on 10 floppies and which is also presently on my first computer has gotten corrupted and so I can't install this on my new machine. So my other question is : does anyone know if WP51 is available as free or shareware due to its age now or if it is still available at all? Thanks very much for any assistance. Lenny
