Hi Larry,
I have sitting in my office, a new in package copy of wordperfect for
Linux.
I got it here, hoping that I could use it on my still basically
unuseable Linux box.
I have never checked it very carefully. Let me dig it out this weekend
though and confirm exactly what it is. I suspect given the source was ac
computer company that the package may be an entire suit, but do not hold me
to that line of thought.
Stay tuned,
Kare

TL;DR:
LibreOffice as a GUI word processor
Nano, Vim, Emacs for CLI-based systems
I like Sublime Text 2 for code editing. Previously used both GEdit and
Komodo with great success.

Well, in considering other editors which deal with more sets of
charactors, I look back in my DOS days to WP6.0. I had heard there was a
wp8 in Linux, but I cannot find it? Some1 in our LUG was going to get me a
copy, but somehow it didn't happen.
So far among editors I am familliar with, I am most comfortable in Nano,
but it won't handle replacing items which say "null"
Thanks so much in advance for suggestions of finding a WP in Linux, or
another editor which is simple, not like vim, vi, or emacs. Come to think
of it, could I run WP6 in dosemu?
