I still use Wordperfect 5.1 for Russian and have no complaints...
I have a large number of files in AV format (dos 866). It is possible
to convert WP cyrillic to "normal" dos 866 if WP is loaded with the
instruction wp/cp=899. If the text is saved as generic this becomes
regular Dos 866.
I consulted someone at Microsoft on converting these AV files and
received the following reply:
When I get files like this, I just open them in Notepad or WordPad
and change font to be ER Bukinist 866, or any other Windows font
designed for 866 code page. Now, I can read and print the files.
Does this help??
