A simple search finds recommendations to try kvlotus.exe and following some
leads here:

If this is a WordPro file then the 'net suggests to try
	ftp://ftp.lotus.com/pub/lotusweb/product/smartsuite/Kvlotus.exe
but you need a Windows 32bit system to run it (or so the comments say).

[I know, not a linux kind of answer]

Another suggestion raised, if one is not paranoid, is to use a web converter like
	http://www.fileminx.com/

Full disclosure: I tried none of the above, take your chances.
