It will run (though I still haven't got anything to go through the
Word import filter yet). I had it running on mostly-hamm-with-XFree86-
v3.3.5, kernel 2.0.34. You need to watch the error messages and feed
it some old libraries from the "oldlibs" and maybe "X11" sections of
the Debian installation--search the archives of this list or just ask
Corel if you can wait a few days for the answer.
