No, but WordPerfect(R) sells WP for Suns (and other UNIX(R)-based
systems).  They now sell WP for UNIX 5.1, which is about as WYSIWYG as
WP for [MS] Windows.  WP is *not* FrameMaker(R); in particular, it has
no drawing tools.  (Unless some were added for WP/UNIX 5.1.)

Well, not quite.  As I understand it, you only need a license to start
using FrameMaker (if that), to save documents, and to print documents.
With a little discipline, several simultaneous users can get by with
one license.  I think our site has five licenses for thirty users.
(Caveat:  we still have light usage.)
