I recall that when WP 8 came out, Corel said the full version came with
a text-based version, but when I took a look at what is on the Corel
Linux CD-ROM (deluxe version with the full version of WP 8) I couldn't
find any text-base executable. Of course, I didn't know what to look
for, but I couldn
I would doubt there's a text-based version of WordPerfect 8 on any
platform... If there is, I'd love to know how to make it work. Until then,
I'll stick to WP 5.1/DOS for my work. In a decade of use its never
crashed or otherwise let me down. :)

Don't know about WP8 running under GNU/L, but if it converts and saves
WP5.1 documents with the same grace and style as WP8 for Windoze, no great
deal.
(Personal note: I was a fan of DOS WP5.1 and continued the useless trend
of upgrading until I got tired as I wanted some decent co

I did my share of editing in Wordperfect, too.
I suppose you could try running the old DOS version in dosemu.
(Don't know about licensing issues, though.)

It's www.lyx.org. I don't remember who is working on it
Wow ! That's news. Seems rather interesting. A console
based frontend to LaTeX !
If you cannot recall the URL, is there any clue to the
project/ program name so that one can search for it on
one of the search engines on the net?

The Cliq suite is available at , it offers not only
character-based word processing, but additional features such as a
spreadsheet, calendar, calculator and phone book. You can download the
programs from their web site and ask for a temporary key to try it out.

Got your point . I suppose emacs is the way out if all
others fail. Though the concept in Unix is text processing
as opposed to word processing popularised on smaller OSs,
it is just possible there may be some in existance.

Grateful for your prompt reply.
No, I'm actually looking for a word processor for small time
jobs like letters and other odd things that I push out on my
