[comp.editors] WordPerfect previewer?

mdl@sppy00.UUCP (Michael Lacey) (02/14/91)

I am looking for a tool to display WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 documents on a 
machine that doesn't have WordPerfect.  No need to edit the document.  Just 
need to see it.  I'd be most happy to hear about some incredibly portable 
source, but any information would be of interest.

If you know of any such thing, or have a suggestion where to look, please 
respond to my ...!sppy00!mdl address.  Much obliged.

I believe the latest Norton Commander has a viewer for Word Perfect files
built in. Just press F3 when having the name highlighted and you can view
it full screen or in the half-screen mode.
The WPView should also work stand-alone.
