some time ago, corel released wordperfect 6.0 for x. IIRC wp60 was also
released for both dos/windows, after 6.0 it was released for only
windows. however, i suppose the two flavours (terminal/windowed) might
have been in the same bundle for linux. i have no idea where one could
download this relic now, or even if corel would honour the serial key...
