I heard from VP-Graphics (Paperback Software) people that they are trying
to work with WordPerfect developers so that WP can read VPG files.  Don't
have any idea if and when this may happen.

Another solution would have been for VP-Graphics, GEM etc. to create
encapsulated postscript (EPS) files.  WP can read these.  If GEM draw
will support HPGL output, you can also try reading this with WP.
WP will also read some type of files generated by AutoCad.
