I periodically post a question like this in hopes that the state of the world has changed. :) I'd really like to be able to use a commercial wordprocessor under FreeBSD. ( Actually, my wife would really like to use a professional wordprocessor, without having to reboot into Windows :( ) Recently I discovered that Caldera has a wordperfect/motif bundle for their flavour of Linux ( this is probably old news, but *news* to me ). What chance is there that this thing will run on a FBSD box in Linux emulation mode? Any help or suggestions or comments would be appreciated... btw. not to offend emac'rs out there, but emacs isn't really what I had in mind. ;) Cheers, Andrew.
