I've just this last weekend heard about WordPerfect for UNIX in version
5.something being on the CD you could buy of WordPerfect 8!
It's _not_ included in the gratis download version, only the CD-edition.
I don't know if it is true, but the guy who told us sounded like he had
used it ...
My very first exprience with WordProcessing on a PC was on a 286 running
DOS and WP 5.1, I wrote a ~25 page physics paper on it, MAN it took it's
time to render a page filled with formulas when I wanted to use the
WYSIWYG feature!
On the positive side it was very pleasant to edit formulas in it ... I'm
becoming nostalgic now, but I think this might be the Perfect (pun
intended) solution for you, though it is an expensive one!
