Discontinuation date
What was the last version of DW? DW5? And when was it discontinued? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.159.186 (talk • contribs) May 31, 2008 19:25 (UTC)

English screenshot of DisplayWrite
I'm hoping there can be found, English screenshots of DW/PC, DW/36, DW/370, all or some for this article. The only one I could fine was of "IBMText" the German version of this software. Not sure if it's a "long shot" to ask for this, since its discontinued software. Would be nice. Jimj wpg (talk) 19:21, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Conversion options
I'm wondering if it might be helpful to link to resources that will allow people to read IBM DisplayWrite's DCA format. It used to be possible in many programs, though now the options seem to be:
 * Finding a copy of the program itself
 * Using WordPerfect 5's DOS CONVERT utility
 * See process documented here: https://darrengoossens.wordpress.com/2020/11/19/reading-displaywrite-and-other-old-word-processor-files-on-a-modern-computer/
 * Using CONVERT.EXE utility provided from Corel here: ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/wpdos/5x/convert.exe
 * Using current Corel WordPerfect (suggested, not yet confirmed) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adfhau (talk • contribs) 04:04, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
