I've heard and seen that Word Perfect has a bug that if you save a file (supposedly, only for the first save of that file) to a 3.5" disk from within the program, it will often damage your disk. I'm not sure if this is physical damage or just screwing up something needed by the Finder. After the damage is done, none of our Macs (SEs and IIs) will read the disk beyond telling you that it is damaged and asking if you want to re-init. I take back a previous statement: it is not physical damage, as I have re-inited some affected disks and they work fine. Is there a fix/patch/new version (I'm using 1.0.1 of Word Perfect) that corrects this? Awaiting, Malus rsklar

I know of no "file trashing" due to Word Perfect -- and I have been using
it (although casually, until just two weeks ago) for about one year.
I am fairly pleased with it starting w/version 1.0.2 -- the latest is version
1.0.3. But overall, no problems of the nature you described even w/verion
1.0.0.
