	I'm not aware of WindowMaker requiring any old, compatible libs
to work.  WP does need the old libc5 and two other old libs
(xpm4.7 and libc++ something or other, been a long time).  This
libs are in the "oldlibs" section in dselect's display.  These
libs are safe to have with newer libs on same system (let dselect
install them), they should not be giving you any trouble.
	If you are trying to use the WP demo from the Corel website, be
aware that the WP demo is time limited; it will self destruct in a
little while.  Of course, if you are using the purchased version,
then ignore my ramblings.
