Word perfect

[Roger Oberholtzer]

I have inherited some Word Perfect docs that I need to get into StarOffice.
Yeehaa. Anywaty, I see that Open- and StarOffice do not import Word Perfect
files.

It seems that the files are from WP 5 and, possibly, WP 9 as well. I deduce
this by looking at the start of the file, where I see either "WPC5" or
"WPC9".

I also tried abiword to read these, with no luck. Version 1.99.5 (withh SUSE
9) does not list it when opening files and seems not to autodetect it.
Version 0.99.3 at least lists WP 6/7/8, but also will not read the files.

So, I thought I would dig up my WP 8 from an old Caldera 2.2 release. It is
a libc.so.5 sort of beast, and I do not have such a system. I did install
the RPM on SuSE 9, but the xwp binary will not even load, let alone run.
Even 'ldd xwp' fails. Although 'file xwp' says it is an ELF binary.

So, what reasonable options might I have for converting some dozen or so
docs of 70 or so pages each into, say, word, so that I can get them into
StarOffice? I know that there are WP users on this list, but I never really
read those threads very closely.
