This is a Word 6 document import/export filter for WordPerfect 6.1 (I
don't know of an equivalent for WP 6.0):
ftp://ftp.corel.com/pub/WordPerfect/WordPerfect/WP61WIN/cvww6x.exe

This is a WordPerfect 6 document import (no export) filter for Word

Of course, don't expect perfect conversions from either of them.
