Need to get Word Perfect working
Hello.

My current problem is that when I try to run Word Perfect 5.1 I get "Packed file is corrupt".
This is something about an incompatibilities with an old exepack. For some reasons unpacking fails if the program gets loaded into the first 64Kb IIRC. There are several ways of solving the problem:
1 (my preference): unpack the file with unp utility:

Once unpacked, the prog will work forever since.
2 (haven't tried): use exepackfix utility:

3 (classic way): use loadfix utility which comes with DOS distributions.
