There is more\ninformation and a quick introduction on the\n[wiki](https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/Getting-Started), and a\n[FAQ](https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/FAQ) covering common questions and\nproblems.\n\nIt features print previews, an equation editor, mouse support, drop down menus,\nspelling and grammar checking, builtin macro editor and more.\n\n![Print Previews](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/123814/186571054-af88f26c-850a-4d88-94b3-02482d15e039.gif)\n\n## Building\n\n\u003e Note: If you just want a `deb` or `rpm` to try out, check the [Releases](https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/releases) tab.\n\nYou need the following file to build this, available\n[here](https://archive.org/details/corel-wpunix-8/box_f.jpg).\n\n```\n$ md5sum COREL_WPUNIX_1.iso\n036d10f279aecc61704b214e7bd58a6d COREL_WPUNIX_1.iso\n```\n\n### Packages\n\nThe following packages are required to build the WordPerfect patches.\n\n| Ubuntu / Debian           | Fedora              |\n| --------------------------|---------------------|\n| build-essential           | glibc-devel.i686    |\n| gcc-multilib              | libgcc.i686         |\n| bsdtar / libarchive-tools | bsdtar              |\n| patchelf                  | patchelf            |\n| rpm2cpio                  | glibc-static        |\n|                           | glibc-static.i686   |\n\nType `make` to produce a `.deb` file, or use the included `.spec` file to create an `.rpm`.\n\n#### Manual Installation\n\nIf you don't want an `rpm` or `deb` file, you can try this instead:\n\n```\n$ make wordperfect8_i386\n```\n\nThis should prepare the files, then you can install them manually like this:\n\n```\n$ sudo cp -r wordperfect8_i386/opt/wp80 /opt\n$ sudo cp wordperfect8_i386/usr/bin/wp /usr/bin/\n```\n\nTo uninstall, simply `rm -rf /opt/wp80 /usr/bin/wp`\n\n## Getting Started\n\nRun `wp` to start WordPerfect. The default keybinding to open the menu is\n\u003ckbd\u003eEsc\u003c/kbd\u003e,\u003ckbd\u003e=\u003c/kbd\u003e.\n\nThere is a quick start guide on the [wiki](https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/Getting-Started).\n\nThe complete user manual is available online [here](https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/files/wp8gui.pdf).\n\nIf you've never used WordPerfect before, you might prefer the `cua` Keyboard Layout.\nThis enables the familiar \u003ckbd\u003eCtrl\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eC\u003c/kbd\u003e for *Copy*, \u003ckbd\u003eCtrl\u003c/kbd\u003e+\u003ckbd\u003eV\u003c/kbd\u003e\nfor *Paste*, and so on. Follow the instructions\n[here](https://github.com/taviso/wpunix/wiki/Getting-Started#keyboard-layout) to enable it.\n\n\u003e Note: Print previews require a terminal with sixel support, such as [XTerm](https://invisible-island.net/xterm/).\n\n## Screenshots\n\nThe default look.\n\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/123814/187082851-731af626-3cf1-44ac-874b-517c8ff545e6.png)\n\nThere are interactive equation and graphics editors, they can use [sixels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel) or ascii art.\n\n![equation](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/123814/187083922-d1c38e75-734d-4161-853c-407ec38bc9d4.gif)\n\nThere are built-in spelling and grammar checking tools, and a comprehensive interactive thesaurus.\n\n![thesaurus](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/123814/188775253-78742e7d-269f-4916-b493-411c5c208b33.gif)\n\n## Licensing\n\nIn theory, this is a demonstration copy, but I haven't noticed any limitations.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fwpunix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fwpunix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftaviso%2Fwpunix/lists"}
