Out of curiosity, what is there in the way of modern
software that
can read Word Perfect 5.1 (probably some 5.2 as well) for DOS
documents? The good news is that I retrieved all these files at
some point in the past from the 3.5" floppy they were on. :-)

John pointed out that modern versions of Word (such as 2007) can do
this. It's the Mac version of Word that can no longer read the
documents.
Unfortunately it turns out I really need to read 4.2 doc's. Next up
to find one of my laptops from the early 90's, and see if I can boot
it.
