WordPerfect 6.0 (Caldera)</A></H2> <P>Caldera sells both a WordPerfect and Motif Bundle ($130 US) and the Caldera Internet Office Suite ($219 US). Both include WordPerfect 6.0 for Linux. <P>Overall, WP 6.0 has been good to me. I have generated 20-30 large documents and numerous small ones, probably 1000+ pages if I printed them all out. The only problem that I have is that I use WP Times font under Linux and it is not compatible with the WP True Type Times font under Windows. <P> <H2><A NAME="ss4.1">4.1 Impressions of 6.0</A> </H2> <P>The author has been using WordPerfect for Linux on Caldera Network Desktop (CND) for the past year. The system is a P6/200, 64M RAM, SCSI, CND 1.0 with RiskyHack patches to the Linux 2.0.30 kernel, updated RPM, and many, many RPMS from Redhat and Caldera's WWW sites. <P> <P> <H2><A NAME="ss4.2">4.2 Getting WordPerfect 6.0</A> </H2> <P>Visit Caldera's WWW site at <A HREF="http://www.caldera.com">http://www.caldera.com</A><P> <P> <H2><A NAME="ss4.3">4.3 Installation of 6.0</A> </H2> <P>Installation was easy.
