      The five TrueType fonts in the Wpftutil\Fonts folder improve import
      conversion of characters from WordPerfect 5.x and 6.x character sets.

      The two templates in the Wpftutil\Template folder emulate
      functionality in WordPerfect and are provided to make the transition
      easier for WordPerfect users switching to Word. The wpwin.dot
      template is for WordPerfect 5.x and 6.x for Windows users and the
      wpdos.dot template is for WordPerfect 5.1 and 6.0 for MS-DOS users.
