I think the problem/issue in this case is the fact that hardly anything can open wordperfect documents anymore, except wordperfect. For those of us that have documents in those formats, we stand to lose a lot of our work.... so that is a bit frustrating. If it is still available, I do know that WordPerfect 2000 (wine version) still works with cooker, but it forces a payment for a relatively unsupported, bloated and neglected product.
