Office on HP-UX and Unix

Summary

Office on HP-UX and Unix Several office, productivity and publishing programs were ported to HP-UX throughout the 1980s and 1990.

Several office suites were ported to Unix until the mid-1990s: No Longer The Exclusive Domain Of Academics And Engineers, UNIX Is Gaining Prominence In Office Environments.

CorelDraw supported Unix and HP-UX on PA-RISC machines in at least three versions, although documentation is a bit sparse.

Needs HP UX 9.0 or higher, and includes XPAINT and PHOTO-PAINT as well as 14,000 cliparts and 750 TrueType fonts. CorelDraw 3.0 (1993) was the second version ported to Unix and apparently supported PA-RISC HP-UX computers. There was a maintenance release 3.0B (1994); HP-UX and PA-RISC support in 3.0 is a bit unclear in documentation. CorelDraw 2.0.1 (1992) Early announcements of a Cor...
