xy... try it and find out? As for VPC 5, this is a great program, better than VPC 6 in my opinion. Can't quite recall why at the moment, but whatever they added in v6 just bloated it. Haven't tried VPC7 yet, but it may be necessary to run Windows7.

Does anyone know whether on the PC DOS 2000 preinstall WordPerfect 5.1 will run?

it works now!!! that a bunch for uploading it

I'm getting the same error too. I'll do a post about it in the forum.

Edit: I followed eastone advice and reuploaded the archive--but under a different name. Everything works for me. So even though we still have no idea why this happen, at least we know the workaround: rename and reupload. It's not a good workaround for big files, though.

Thank you very much for uploading it! Unfortunately it shows an error when trying to download it.
