Well, apparently, WP8 for Linux can still be obtained -- free, even: http://ftp.dreamtime.org/pub/linux/wp8/ . This link was obtained from the Word Perfect on Linux FAQ: http://linuxmafia.com/wpfaq/ (which has other links, mostly dead), which, in turn, was referenced in this article: http://practical-tech.com/operating-system/linux/wordperfect-for-linux-lives-on-sort-of/ . For the sheer Hell of it, I took a brief stab at installation, and it went down in flames; don't have the time to try harder right now.
