WINE 970101 is what I'm using.  Don't have Word.  I use 
Word Perfect 6.1.  Starts up ok, but doesn't work right for any useful
stuff.  Also, takes up almost all memory in my system (20M) and is
VERY VERY SLOW!!  Lots of swapping takes place (32M swapfile).

Too bad there isn't an up to date WINE-successes.txt or equiv.  All I
want is WP 6.1 to work, and work as good as in WIN 3.1.  Preferably
faster and with less memory too!
