I have it running on slink, but the file I downloaded is

-rw-r--r--   1 pann  pann  23711095 Jan  6 09:43 /usr/local/WordPerfect_tar.gz

It's been awhile since I downloaded it, but I can't imagine I changed
the name.

Do they offer more than one download file? If you're running slink make
sure you don't download something that wants glibc 2.1 or kernel 2.2.

Luck,
