4. WordPerfect 6.0 (Caldera)

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. .:: telegra.ph ::. [Web Specs: Express.js] .:: zrzutka.pl ::. .:: www.bakinsky-dvorik.ru ::.

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. .:: www.kzntreasury.gov.za ::. .:: crowdsourcer.io ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: www.redsea.gov.eg ::.

4.1 Impressions of 6.0

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. .:: replit.com ::. .:: www.prestashop.com ::.

4.2 Getting WordPerfect 6.0

Visit Caldera's WWW site at http://www.caldera.com

4.3 Installation of 6.0

Installation was easy. I just followed the directions provided.... .:: jobs.nefeshinternational.org ::.

I did have to add wp to my fvwm menu (I am using FVWM95 on CND 1.0 with lots of patches) and to looking glass's menus. .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: google-request-indexing.vercel.app ::.

My platform is a P6/200, 64M RAM, Caldera CND 1.0, RiskyHacks to libc 5.4.4, kernel 2.0.30 (Joliet and FAT32 patches), dual SCSI, CD-R, etc. WP uses 74 MB of disk space. .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: postr.blog ::. .:: mindef.gov.bn ::. .:: computer.ju.edu.jo ::.

4.4 Bugs in 6.0

Export to HTML has several bugs with complex documents requiring some reformatting. .:: www.iteandes.edu.co ::. .:: www.pdc.edu ::.
Occasional crashes (very rare).
Occasionally WP loops where it uses all memory and runs out of swap space, then crashes. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. .:: 55aanetbr.onlc.fr ::. .:: www.kzntreasury.gov.za ::.
Some fonts are different between Windows and UNIX versions. .:: dk.pinterest.com ::. [JWT Modules]
It has been reported to me that some WP macros for UNIX versions are different than those for Windows versions.
