YOu know?
I need to check this edition then, because it is far more current than 1995 I am sure.

 Greetings everyone,
 I have a still in the package copy of wordperfect 5.1 for UNIX.  I got

 Is there any reason why the program cannot be installed on a machine

There was once (around 1995?) a WordPerfect version for Linux. It worked, but it had terrible fonts. It has not been possible to install that for at least the past 4 years, and probably longer, as the dependencies can no longer be met. I have WordPerfect12 working on the latest PCLinuxOS KDE, but not the spread sheet. It doesn't look real nice on the screen, and it comes up with some difficulty, but it is usable, if you are stubborn. I also have Corel Draw 9 and the corresponding PhotoPaint working. Both of WP and draw are running in WINE.
