Spreadsheets: any chance to put Quattro Pro in Puppy?

Long ago I locked myself into Quattro Pro as a spreadsheet by constructing large spreadsheets containing complicated macros and many graphs which don't translate into Excel. Neither do they to Gnumeric or Planmaker, although Gnumeric does pretty well with sheets containing only simple text and numbers. I recently acquired a copy of Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux, but have been unable to install it on any kind of Linux distribution. Is there any possibility that at least the Quattro Pro part can be made to run on Puppy?

On another subject, is it possible to put a folder on the Puppy desktop?

I'll appreciate any suggestions.

I think wordperfect just contains the writer, not Quattro Pro.


One program with the best import/export-filters for MS-documents shall be SoftMaker Office, but I don't have lots of experience with that.
It runs very fast at least.

You can drag a folder from ROX-Filer to your Desktop.
