Which is all nice, and which I agree with, but it doesn't solve the problem
of what to do with the documents before you realized this was the case!
In my own case, I have WordPerfect 4.x and 5.x documents dating back to the
late 80s and early 90s that still require occasional usage of WordPerfect.
Since providing this capability requires only free software on Debian's
part, where exactly is the problem?
