We actually use it every day to transcribe all of our
Radiology reports.
The AIX based Radiology system we have only accepts transcription from
WordPerfect 5.1. Two of our users run serial links to the AIX box to send
in the WordPerfect files. We don't need anything but plain text and spell
checking. It has worked flawlessly for the last 3 years I have been here.
Hey, I'd love a copy for AIX too! I run 4.1.4 on this system. Just a binary
would be all I'd require.
We used to use it on the old RS/6000s down in the basement (a system was
entirely allocated for it, unimaginatively called "wp"). This was in the bad
old days of thicknet stretching like unbreakable tendrils of some fibrous
boa constrictor around the helpless, writing corpus of PLNU. Good metaphor,
eh? :-) Unfortunately, they retired the systems about two years ago. I'm
trying to get my hands on one before they end up scrapping the lot.
