Not to defend Mr. Heard, but perhaps the confusion comes from the fact
that Novell owned Wordperfect for a time in the late '80s to mid '90s
before selling it to Corel. Also, in the mid 90's, Novell aquired the
rights to AT&T UNIX and apparently held both for a breif period of
time. This is probably where the UNIX port of WP comes in.
Most of us are well aware of the path UNIX took once Novell sold it.
