You can install parts you want.

You have to download the whole thing

I just started it on a simple Word document amd it took 45 sec to
load on my PPro200 128MB.
It used 39MB of RAM. I figure it would be unbearably slow on a 486.

Yes and no. It handles simple stuff, but at the office I receive
complicated forms and memos and it something makes a mess of
them. After I edit them they are screwed up in MS-Word.
I hope WordPerfect8 is better.
