There's a WordPerfect DEMO available for ftp; it claims to be a full 
version of WP 5.1 with printing and saving disabled.

The demo is actually for SCO Unix, but there's an emulator under 
development for Linux, called "ibcs2", that will ultimately let Linux run 
SCO binaries. The emulator is supposed to run the WP demo already.

I got past the prior problem with it, but now it complains about missing 
device drivers (/dev/XOR, for example).

The emulator, and the current kernel, is available on tsx-11.mit.edu. The 
WP 5.1 demo is available on ftp.wordperfect.com.
