Is It Wrong To Install Wordperfect 5.1 On A Win Xp Machine?

WordPerfect 5.1 was built to be used on a DOS 6.22 machine. I figure if it is installed, the Win XP machine won’t boot because Notepad wouldn’t be accessed to start the machine, WordPerfect 5.1 would be. WordPerfect 5.1 has a file association on .txt files, as does Notepad. Also, Notepad can become bigger in Wordpad when .dat files within Notepad exceed 50K; I don’t believe WordPerfect 5.1 can handle files several megabytes large, but I don’t know. There is an emulated version of WordPerfect 5.1 in the new Corel Office 12, but I’m not talking about that version.
