RE: Word Perfect on SuSE 9.1

WordPerfect did distribute several versions for Linux. I understand version
8 is a relatively crude migration from the windows version, but version 7
was actually written for Linux (for Corel Linux, now marketed under a
different name - Lycoris?). It should work with SuSE, but I haven't tried
it.

Subject: Word Perfect on SuSE 9.1

I work for a University that uses a Novell Network and we have been
using SuSE 9.1 Pro since Novell bought it in June or July. We have
hundreds of users that use Word Perfect on Windows. This is the one
thing that is keeping us from switching many of them over to Linux.

Does anyone know if there is a Word Perfect plugin rpm that works on
SuSE 9.1 Pro. How long does Abiword usually take to release rpms for
newer distributions? Is SuSE a supported distribution or are they
only supporting Fedora Core and Mandrake?

How about compiling from source? Has anyone had luck compiling the
plugin for SuSE 9.1 from source? Is there any documentation floating
around about that?

Thanks

Curtis
