I'm a long-time WordPerfect user, but it is time to move on. In an MS Word
world the incompatibility is annoying. Also, I can never quite get it to
format the dissertation quite right.
Besides it only runs on Windows, Red Hat . . . and Debian. (Debian is ok,
but the last time I installed it, it took forever. Both Debian and FreeBSD
give me w-a-y more installation control than I usually want. It's also hard
to get a copy.)
WP will work on SGML and XML, but it won't dump a WP file to XML. It will
dump to text, html, or rtf.
Should I migrate to XML? Is there a good XML editor (besides WP) for both
Windows and *NIX? What about an XML to PostScript translator?
