Here are the results of "zgrep -e libXt.so.6 Contents-i386.gz":
usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 libs/xlibs
usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 libs/xlibs
usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6
oldlibs/xlib6
usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6.0
oldlibs/xlib6
Therefore, you should find libXt.so.6 in xlibs. Maybe you need to put
"/usr/X11R6/lib" in /etc/ld.so.conf. Also, make sure libXt.so.6 is
properly symlinked to libXt.so.6.0.
There is also a package called wp2x with this description:
wp2x - WordPerfect 5.x to whatever converter
This program converts simple WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 files into any
other document
processing languages that use plain text files, like TeX, LaTeX, troff,
GML and HTML.
