Would compiling a newer kernel require using newer linux-headers 
(linuxinc) than what comes with SW71, which is for kernel 2.2.16?
And/or a newer glibc?

I have not been playing with linux because I have a large translation to 
keep me busy for another week, but I did run across mention that 
Wordperfect 4.2 had been ported to UNIX long ago.  If I could get hold of 
this port, would it work with linux?  The free WP for download is gui-only 
but there was mention at one site of a CLI version being included with the 
paid version (of which there seem to be a few copies still for sale).  

Wish I had the time to download and try BL3-10 but I will follow the 
discussion about it.
