The latest >Word4Windoze converter in it is for Word v6.0 There is another problem, however. I have found that it *can* be unstable if it (DeScribe) is installed in a partition greater than (>) 2.1Gb. Why, I don't know. My solution: I just leave enough space in my Boot Drive to accomodate DeScribe, but it may be a problem for those with one Drive (HPFS). It could also be that it may not be able to run cleanly under JFS, but I'm only guessing here, and will gladly be overruled :-) >What do you think? If we can't do it, someone in Netlabs probably will. I reckon it's worth a follow up.
