Any binary application compiled on Microport 386 should run on 386 i/x and
vice versa.  As for WordPerfect, I tried running the Microport version on
386 i/x.  It did run, but it had enough problems updating the screen to be
unusable.  This might be fixable by changing the console termcap entry; I
didn't try doing this.  It could be something more serious like differences
in the console driver -- has anyone gotten WordPerfect running on 386 i/x?
