Is it possible to write and read text files on a CD on a computer that has MS-DOS 6.0 and WordPerfect, but not Windows?
Background: I use WordPerfect 6.0 extensively in my small business. I'm very familiar w/WP60, including its flaws and quirks, having used it since 1990, and don't want to change. Windows, amazing as it is in general, just adds extra steps and is not needed w/WP60 (e.g., it's very easy to cancel a print job in WP60, but Windows requires you to go into Control Panel and do some things).
In addition, I don't want my business data to be subject to malware, so my DOS-only computers are not connected to anything other than the power cord. Yes, this has happened - over a year ago, we were using a Win XP computer w/WP60, keying in invoices. This computer had been retired from Internet use several years earlier.
After about a year of use w/WP60, it began crashing now and then. The crashes become too frequent to continue using it.
Thinking WP60 files had become corrupted, I deleted all WP files and reloaded WP; more crashing. I copied the invoice files to another computer, that too became infected. To shorten the story, I eventually recovered my files from copious floppy backups onto a 3rd DOS-only computer. Other than sleep, I lost very little. Despite what the WP gurus say, I'm telling you WP files CAN BE INFECTED with malware - I later ran the Win XP scan, and found 2 malware programs.
Thus, I would like to be able to save all my text files to a CD at once, rather than having to have a zillion floppies.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
Tim
