Thanks, mate. As a (very) old-time DOS WP user, I've always wanted to install WP on Linux 😀 it left MS Word in the dust. That and Ventura Publisher, at the time, was amazing and unbeatable. The keyboard templates for WP were plastic, not cardboard, and lasted forever. I still have mine. It also generated pure PostScript files, with ligature support, and Type 1 fonts, which I could generate PDF's from.
Im using an old atom netbook with Linux as a word processor. Im starting to use vim but i really like that old D.O.S feel of those programs. So i will give it a try.
Dude, thanks - I just did this, w/ DOSEMU and WP 6, so I’m pumped to watch how you pull this off. :) maybe I’ll bump up to wp7 too. And yes, I used a WP template almost daily! (There were many templates back in those IBM days..)
Anyone here who got this running on Manjaro Linux? Can't get it running and I really want this. A decent word processor (yes I have LaTeX but I also want something like this ...) ist the last thing I miss so I could finally work almost all time in CLI

Ahhh very interesting! Direct to postscript is certainly a handy feature, especially back in the day

Pretty straightforward install actually.. you'll see
WP is the only one that has a built in spreadsheet. No going back and forth in Excel. For an appraiser or other data user, WP beats Word all hollow.
