MS Works problem

[Ken Blake]

Today, Corel is solely owned by Corel Holdings a limited partnership controlled by an
affiliate of Vector Capital. (fyi-last month Corel acquired Roxio)

Thanks. I didn't know either of those things.

Not as far as I know. But if that's correct and you have a reference
to it, I'd like to see it. Can you provide a URL?

You're right, that's ten-year-old news. Corel is now 100% owned by Corel
Holdings, which in turn is in a partnership with Vector Capital (per
Wikipedia).

However, the latest WordPerfect does read and write the most formats AFAIK.

Yes, I think you're right.

6.0 was a disaster. It was laden with bugs.




OK, that's fine. I'm not trying to talk you into getting a later
version. But please note that the statement "I don't have a need for
anything so sophisticated now" is a *very* different one from
"WordPerfect 5.1 was (is?) far and away the best wordprocessing
program." Yes, but 5.1 was good, but the versions have been getting
better and better all the time.

Anyone remember TSE44 Pro (The Semware Editor).... Still using it on my Ultimate
box, a totally programmable software, to your own liking for unlimited sized
length of file editing... which I've integrated into File Commander, as a point,
shoot and open..... Gosh... why don't you all go back to Kindergarten!!!
:----)))) AH THE GOOD OLD DAYS....... I REMEMBER THEM WELL!

It's still alive! I always wanted it, but it couldn't justify the
price. It's still quite expensive - $119 (for a DOS editor?!?)

I still use an excellent DOS editor called Aurora. It was never quite
finished and polished by the author before he abandoned it, but it has
some features that I've never found in another text editor.

Corel Holdings *is* the partnership that owns Corel. The partnership (Corel Holdings) is controlled by an affiliate of Vector
Capital. An affiliate can be a business entity (e.g. Printronix which may control one or more businesses) or a single person (the
affiliate responsible for the sole business). Vector Capital creates funds (portfolios) that allow private equity investments
(people, families, municipal govt, venture capital firms, etc.) in its holdings.

OK, technical details matter, but in this context not that much. Thanks
for taking the trouble anyhow.

Originally it was called Qedit.... from there transformed to a programmers
editor to TSE up to TSEPro4.4... Right now there is a Windows7 upgrade, should I
decide the need to go that way. I'm now wondering if the version that I have is
already a Windows, since I've been using it from since when the cows began
coming home... Upon logging on to SEM, I went thru the macro downloads and there
were a billion of them. Every conceivable feature that any programmer would
want.
