Let me preface this by saying that I'm speaking from the position of a
Linux user, but since you can run many of the binaries under FreeBSD...
I believe that WordPerfect is now available for Linux. I'm not sure
if you can get it outside the Caldera bundle, but I'm planning on
looking in to it.
Also, I think, there are some pretty good spreadsheets. Try looking
in an issue of the Linux Journal. Many of the commercial advertizers
can be found there.

I saw xpat2 last night, and it looked pretty good...

If you ever decide to try Linux, check out the debian distribution.
It has a really nice package system so you can install programs to try
them out and then "purge" them if you don't like them.

I can vouch for Quicken 5 to some extent. It has been working fine
for me in light usage.

You're runnning a more stable setup than most of them...
