minus-squaretal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-212 days ago I liked Word Perfect for Dos but converting files to my linux desktop was a pain and I never found a workflow I liked. I wouldn’t do it myself, but if that floats your boat: https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/20/wordperfect_for_unix_for_linux/ Tavis Ormandy ports WordPerfect for UNIX to Linux Wed 20 Jul 2022 // 15:15 UTC https://mendelson.org/wpdos/unix.html
minus-squareoshu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 days agoThanks for that. Unfortunately, unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t solve the work flow issue as my goal is to get my written text into a modern format that works with everything else I use, such as ascii or markdown. Word Grinder hits all the marks.
