Running WordPerfect X3 under CrossOver Office.

WPX3 seems to run better* under CrossOver 5.0.3 than with the current 
release: 6.1.  Under 6.1 you have to start WPX3 twice; the first time 
the start menu closes, and on the second start WPX3 opens in a tiny 
window that must be expanded.  Under 5.0.3 this problem does not exist; 
  WPX3 opens just as it does in Windows.  On my Core 2 Duo 1.8 gHz 
system WPX3 opens as quickly as it does in Windows.


Here is the response (quick!) I got from CodeWeavers to my enquiry.  I 
want to install both XOver 5.0.3 for WOX3 and 6.1 for other Win apps.
Here is how to do it:

(*The two major problems - inability to export files in other than .wpd 
and need to disable intelligent file management - are still common to 
all XOver versions.)
