It also wants at least 64MB RAM (version 2.0 wants 128MB RAM) and 256 
colors and 800x600 resolution.  And appears to come with database and 
spreadsheet programs.  Is there no way to get just a linux wordprocessor 
that will let one view and edit all or most WORD files?

But it does work with glibc 2.1.3 (BL2).

Most people are willing to send me pdf files instead.  And accept 
Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS, but the WORD import filters do not import tables 
correctly.
