Much as I would love people to start using WordPerfect again ... The latest WP/Unix I know of is 5.1 for SCO - I would be surprised if that wasn't revamped, though, to at least v6.
There is a WP8/linux which is a native version. Unfortunately, it is libc5 based so it's a pain to install on any recent distro (recent as in the last two or three years at least!). I can email anyone the shareware version (including licence codes) if they want it, but for commercial use you need a paid-for licence which will be difficult to get. WP9 (Perfect Office 2000) was released in a linux version. BUT This was the version that was rewritten for "Windows only" and supplied for linux with WINE. Co-incidentally, this was why WINE suddenly improved so dramatically in this time period - Corel threw loads of engineering at it because they intended to "WINEify" all their apps. If I were implementing WP on a linux server, I'd get a copy of the Windows version (either WP10 or WP9), and run it using standard WINE. 9 will almost certainly work (I haven't tried it), 10 I don't know. Oh - get a fast server, because you'll need it. WP10 might be problematic, because this is the time MS threw a few million $ at Corel to get them to pull out of linux.
