Yes this works well for me so far. I've used various versions of
WordPerfect in Windoze and Linux and have a rather large (at least for
me) number of WP documents I have yet to convert to something else. WP
just seems to do the Right Thing(tm) and I've been hesitant to convert
all of my stuff to something else. The "reveal codes" option is awesome.

Installing the shlibs5 package (for SuSE anyway) has done the trick so
far. Hopefully someone will keep a updated version available, as it is
no longer included anywhere in the SuSE distro. The src doesn't always
recompile nicely either.

HTH,

John V.

I didn't do it.
Nobody saw me do it.
You can't prove anything.
