Re: Word Perfect in Linux?

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

These threads have some data about why it might not be feasible:

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?
