    There are two versions of WordPerfect 4.0 for 8086/8088 machines:
the version for IBM compatibles (uses memory-mapped screen for fast
text moves); and the version for MS-DOS machines, which uses the DOS
function calls to access the screen.  I believe that the MS-DOS
version should work on the AT&T 6300.

    WordPerfect 4.1 (which is supposed to be a bigger improvement
over 4.0 than 4.0 was over 3.0) is on its way out the door.
