Corel has a version of Word Perfect v7.0 for Linux which works nicely 
under FreeBSD 2.2.2 (with Linux emulation).  The file format is fully 
compatible with the Windows (3.1 or 95) of WordPerfect.

Look at www.sdcorp.com for a demo for Linux and www.corel.com for the 
Windows version.

Regards,
Alex.
