If you're still interested in using WordPerfect for the IIe/c I have
copy of it set up on 5.25 disk images. I could either e-mail it to you
or if you like I could transfer it to real disks and mail it to you.
Personal opinion here, for what it's worth, I think Appleworks would
be your better bet to use since you're familiar with it.

Just my two cents worth,
