Was Novel responsible for the headlong retreat that Corel and WordPerfect suffered? WordPerfect on Red Hat 6.x was nice. I tried and failed to make it work under Debian. It would have been much nicer with ssh and xforwarding. I gave up when I could not get the install to work but wonder if oldlibs and a tarball from a working installation could do the trick.
