Re: Corel WordPerfect 8 for Linux ishere! (fwd)
For me somewhere between downloading the files on an NT system,
burning them to CD over the network on a '95 system and then copying
them to my Debian system the filenames became all caps. I had to
rename all the files to lowercase i.e. GUI00 to gui00 (after they were
gunzipped). Then I tar -xvf gui00 each of them one at a time - then
ran ./Runme. It took two times through the same routine to make it
work - then it installed OK. It's OK and probably will help to sell
more winders ppl on Linux but I'm not all that impressed.
HTH, G.S.
