If someone knows "Some Bigwig" at Corel (makers of WordPerfect), they could see
if they still have the Universal User Interface (UUI) that was developed when
WordPerfect was it's own company. I talked to an engineer working for
WordPerfect 6 years ago (sheesh! has it been THAT LONG!?!? <sigh>... ;-) who was
part of a team that developed this UUI. He said it worked with out changes as a
character based interface (DOS, Linux or Un*x), Win31, Win9x, WinNT, MacOS, or
OS/2 graphical interface. WP never used the UUI so maybe Corel will let it go.
That could be a big start.

I know that when Novell bought WordPerfect, know one would answer questions
about the interface though (UUI was not the interface used in WP). I was working
for Novell at the time and my group needed a user interface that worked on
almost any platform that connected to the network. I knew the UUI existed but
the WP engineering group was not allowed to talk to the networking engineers.

I no longer work at Novell, but I'll see if I can track down someone who might
give me some info on UUI. That may not produce anything, a lot of the engineers
I knew there have left.

Well that's my current "Two Cents." Hopefully I can contribute more to the Ruby
Effort ;-)
