FLASHBACKI can't recall how long it has been since a DOS application crossed my desk, but Corel Corp. (613 728-8200) is readying a version of its venerable WordPerfect Suite for DOS. The release, slated for February, includes WordPerfect 6.2, a Quattro Pro 5.6 spreadsheet, and Presentations 2.1. System requirements read like a trip down memory lane: 386 or better processor, 520 kilobytes of available RAM, and 45 MB of hard disk space for a full installation. Long overtaken by Windows-based word processors, the once-dominant WordPerfect for DOS still claims millions of users. The new version costs $149 as an upgrade and $495 for new buyers, although not many of the latter are likely.
