Don't. Corel WordPerfect 8 (I just finished the 23MB download to
double-check):

$ ldd bin/wp8/wpbin/xwp
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4004e000)
        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x400ec000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400fa000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40103000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401c1000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401ca000)

And I suspect there won't be any new downloadable version for the next couple
of years.

How about the nice old games that new users might want to run?
