Hi.
Well, the Wordperfect for Linux had several problems. One of the major
reasons they didn't make enough of a prophet off of it, and why it failed
is the wrote the installer to work on Corel Linux and Debian only, and you
couldn't install it on say red Hat.
They also had some deal going with Lokhi Games, and when Lokhi went bust
Correl
decided to pull there Linux products. Including Wordperfect 9.0 which had
just come out, and which was suppose to feature an installer more
compatible with Red Hat Linux.
As for it's accessability it was written using Motif which is alot
moreaccessible than most gui toolkits.
