Word Processing in Linux -- 10:39 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Lost among this week's events is the fact that I finally found an excellent solution to my Linux word processing problems. I had been using the downloadable version of WordPerfect 8 for Linux with some success, but needed the full version to make use of different fonts and other things. The folks on corel.wpoffice.wordperfect8-linux tuned me into the WordPerfect for Linux Bible at Amazon.com. The book comes with the full version of WP8 for Linux on CD. Best of all, it was only $12. Talk about a steal. If you are familiar with WordPerfect, the Linux version will be pretty natural for you. It also comes with about 5,000 pieces of clip art and 140 Type 1 fonts. A sweet deal at many times that price. Get it.

Why in the world Corel basically dropped this incredible program is beyond me. I wish they could release it (or at least most of it) under the GPL so that the hackers out there could keep working on it.
