	At one time, StarOffice had more import/export filters.  Sun included a
number of proprietary import/export filters which they claimed could not
be opensourced.  One of those was a WordPerfect filter.  Now, recent
versions of OpenOffice include a WordPerfect import filter (but NOT
export) based on some side projects including a WordPerfect library
project.  There may still be others.
