Abiword 2.0.0 release is just out. Developers use "libwpd" for
WordPerfect. See http://libwpd.sf.net
I picked this up from the suse-linux-e list.
search for "Abiword 2.0" in September archives at
http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux-e/
if you want the discussion.
OpenOffice probably uses libwpd, too.
