The concept  was  to load wordperfect under Linux. Also WordPerfect was 
working on a program that was able to run Microsoft applications under 
Linux. MicroSoft bought WordPerfect out and closed development on the 
project and stripped out the code WordPerfect developed for the feat.
I was going to buy it when it came out. I believe there was a version of 
WordPerfect Linux that actually made it to the stores. I do not know 
whatever happened to the information on the web.
I'll try WordPerfect Linux to see what comes up.
What is a competent search engine? Google seems to be falling apart. It 
could not find the sun in midday now.
