Hi All & Tom, who typed about the above topic. You & me both, when it comes to WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS {DOG} days :-) Then, WordPerfect went bust, it went to Novel, then Corel & it is a sorry mess now.... Corel went hell for leather & did release WordPerfect 2000 for Tux, via wine. Looking back at this list archives, will show varied experiences with it on SuSE, as will a search of Corels forums. The bottom line is (IMHO), after Corel said they would release a service pack for WordPerfect 2000 for Tux, they have in point of fact, abandoned it; after the coincidental investment by Microsoft.... Corel have dropped out of the Wine project, dropped there Linux distro & are focussing on Doze & the legal fraternity. They are feeding the sharks :-) For this, they get the one finger salute from me & several others; having promised one thing & done another. Up till a month or so ago, you could get WordPerfect 2000 for Tux & Linux Central, but I see it is not there anymore (well, it might be, I could not find it). Give version WordPerfect 8 for Linux (native), if you like & it takes a bit of work to get it up in SuSE. Here is the url. http://www.linuxcentral.com/catalog/index.php3?prod_code=L000-019&id=sh5Xpxsbg6Jfc In the mean time, I am waiting to get my monitor fixed & Star Office to come out, so I can go back to Tux full time. *HTH* Greek Geek :-) As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality. -- Albert Einstein Thomas E.

Does anyone know where you can find a copy of Corel's Wordperfect Office 2000 for Linux? I've been using WP since the dos days. If I can get WP on my Linux box, I can discard my Microsoft 98 partition. If that's a no go, will WP Windows version work on Crossover Office? StarOffice just doesn't have the features I'm looking for. Thanks, Tom
