Word Perfect 5.0 is due for release on the SPARCstation in the
next couple of weeks. It is an OpenLook application which could run
under either OpenWindows or X11R4. I have seen a beta version
running recently at the Australian Unix Users Conference. Being
version 5.0 I beleive it is not WYSIWYG and does not have mouse
control for editing functions. However it does have all the 5.1
pull down menus.

The above is not gospel just what I beleive to be the case at
this point in time.
