Coming back to the original question: there is a C program called
wp2x which compiled fine on my Linux box and is available als a
Dos-Exe (i.e. it seems to be portable). It is capable to extract
text from wordperfect files (I think WP version 4.2 and 5.0/5.1)
and to produce a (La)Tex or troff format of it (rather crude, but
anyway).

Another C program I know or I have seen working is wp2latex, the
LaTeX code it produces looks a bit better than that of wp2x. 

Of course, one will have have problems with maths written in a WP
format or with tables. Not to speak of included pictures etc.
Some manual work is often needed to get a useful or nice output

I assume there are more suitable programs that are better than a
really poor: strings filename. I have just seen these two programs
working.
