I agree with you, but there is only one problem. The word Perfect
that I used was the only
edition (as far as I know) for OS2. (I even installed this Word Perfect
under eCS 1.2 without
a hitch hoping that I would have access to the Epson driver. I managed
to get something
in the printers window, but it does not look like a primter object.)
The OMNI driver does not seem to work either. I tried that too. Next
on my plan is to
dig in the garage for an old version of OS2 installable with diskettes.
