But those were CLI.  WP8 is GUI.

With some trial and error, you can probably get it to
work.  But you may have to install some more utility
packages from Slackware.  And don't forget the libc5
versions of the X libraries.

That won't work.

I believe that is so.  With DOSemu you could probably
run just about any DOS CLI Wordprocessor.

Perhaps you would like to try that and report back
here?  It could be useful for some people.
