The American Megatrends website has a bunch of chipset manuals in word perfect 5.1 format. I have tried to read them using WP51 in DOSBOX, but all I get is a bunch of jibberish. Any of you guys know what to do?

MS Word 2007 claims to be able to open such files according to the dropdown box on the file/open popup window. But actually trying on those .man files says the file is corrupted.

Norton Commander 5.0 could open the file. But the 2 I tried only had an explanation of the BIOS setup parameters and the CMOS bit map. Not a documentation of the chipset.
