I am still using Applixware 5.0 under RHL 7.2 and even though it is now defunct I still find it my favorite suite. Since Applixware was first offered with SuSe and 5.0 was reported to work with SuSe 6.x, I am hoping I can install it on an 8.2 system and it will work. Anyone out there have Applixware 5.0 running under SuSe 8.2? Thanks! -Michael *********************** I had already deleted your email when i read: Subject: Re: [SLE] Can't install WordPerfect 8 on SuSE 8.2 Date: Thu, 8 May 2003 19:12 EST

---- snip --- (Who asked:) Did you install the shlibs5 rpm from your SuSE cds? You will need those to run WP8 (and probably Applixware too) on the newer distros. These are the old libs needed to run the old programs not supported now. Once you have those libs installed, WP8 (Applixware) should start right from the (your sourcce). If you only have the downloaded version, then it should be accessible from the shell. Patrick (note i edited slightly Patrick's email--- but i think his answer applies to your situation. If I am wrong i am sure somebody will correct me (I hope I did this right so your thread isn't messed up) __________________________________________________________________ Try AOL and get 1045 hours FREE for 45 days! http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index.adp?375380 Get AOL Instant Messenger 5.1 free of charge.
