I have the CDs, etc., for WordPerfect/Linux, which never didn't suck. OTOH,
I have installed on this very machine Word 6/DOS and Textra/DOS. (There is
a non-stunt reason: occasionally I happen upon old files written in those,
and I need to export 'em to RTF to make 'em readable. Though both of them
were excellent word crunchers. Wish there were a decent Linux text-based
word processor. And no, EMACS does not fit the bill. EMACS was developed
so basement dwellers could write love notes to the girlfriends they would
never have. Today's incels think they're something new. Ah. but I
digress . . .)
