I can't find anything in the FAQ about compatibility, so I'll offer up
a question to the net at large.

I want to be able to run WordPerfect on a unix box at home, and the good
folks at WordPerfect Corporation have apparently never heard of 386BSD.
So, is 386BSD binary compatible with the commercial flavor of Unix (what
is that, system 5?)  Has anyone got WordPerfect running on 386BSD?

Thanks, as always, in advance for any responses.
