Wow! I never knew it had half of those features! I ran WP 5.1 on a
286/8/640k the only catch was if you typed to fast, the computer would get
behind when you reached the end of a line... and saving and searching were
painfully slow... I love WP 5.1, Is the source available? No, I thought
not... Even a look-a-like with the same features for FreeBSD would be
really cool.
