RE: Wordperfect Suite 8 for Linux

Nathan,

THere is a Debian program called alien, under which
$ alien -r SomePackage.deb
will be converted to a SomePackage.rpm

You could query the Debian list 
debian_user <debian-user@lists.debian.org>
for someone who lives close to you and could do the conversion.
The Wordperfect.deb would have to be copied from the CD to the host
harddrive. Probably about 500 MB of space is needed for the process.
You would still have to solve the problem of getting the
WordPerfect.rpm back to your System for installation.

Subject: Wordperfect Suite 8 for Linux

Hi,
I am running Mandrake 8 on my main computer, and am quite pleased with 
it. I have always worked with Wordperfect in the past and have been very 
satisfied. I do not have Wordperfect installed on this. I purchased 
Corel's Linux Delux Edition, quite a while ago. This installs with 
Wordperfect 8 as part of the set up. What I am wondering is if there is 
some way that I can install it on Mandrake 8 from the Corel CDs, or if 
there is some other way. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Nathan
