&gt; &gt; Word Perfect 8 has the ability to open just about any document format,
&gt; &gt; including Frame Maker.
&gt; &gt; It has the ability to save to HTML, Postcript, Text and RTF..
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Wordperfect 9 has the ability to save to PDF, HTML, Text, and RTF.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; They both run on Linux. Wordperfect is free.
&gt;
&gt; WordPerfect isn't free in the way Linux is free. The priority is about
&gt; free as in 'free speach' not as in 'free drinks'.
&gt;
That is incorrect. The priority is &quot;documentation&quot; and until us &quot;free
speech&quot; people can create a word processor that is &quot;free speech&quot; and as good
as the &quot;free drinks&quot; we have no room to talk argue semantics about &quot;free
drinks&quot;. To date that word processor does not exist.
&gt;
&gt; And I beg to differ having seen both output from DocBook SGML and
&gt; WordPerfect 8 about the quality of HTML output.
&gt;
I agree with you on that one.

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using &quot;1970s technology,&quot;
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
