Hi Ryan, I haven't installed WP myself yet but saved the message just in case..... If this works don't thank me, thank the guys who are mentioned underneath this explanation. Hope it DOES work! Marcel. So here it is: WP8 Install Tips and FAQ For Piecemeal Download --------------------------------------- A lousy install by corel but an excellent program. Here's a straightforward approach to installing the program. Reasons follow after. 1. Make empty directory. 2. Copy all downloaded files GUI0x.GZ to directory as gui0x (small letters, no extension). 3. Untar gui00 only, (tar -xvf gui00). 4. run ./Runme. When it asked have you unzips and untarred all programs, answer y for yes. 5. Program will then install. 6. Choose another directory to house program (something like /usr/local/wp). 7. If you're using magicfilter and ghostscript, choose a postscript printer like NEC colormate P.S. Then when wordperfect is up and running, go to print, select and edit the driver. Edit the destination where Word perfect reads your printcap. Pick either lp, or whatever, for your lpr options. 8. The executable file will be in "directory/wpbin/xwp." (E.g. run wordperfect by entering /usr/local/wp/wpbin/xwp & ). 9. Delete your first "empty" (not so empty) directory. ------------------ Explanation, apparently corel got two people working on the install. (1) The GUI0x.GZ files are in reality tar files. (2) The GUI00.GZ should be called install.tar and distributed with a readme that says just untar that file, it will untar and place in the proper directories the other tar files. (3) Since unix recognizes upper and lowercase filenames as different, the files should be lowercase so that Runme will recognize them (or rewrite runme and move files). Hope this clarifies things. Any problems, modify this and make sure it gets in the web.

Could someone privately email me a link to getting the segmented WordPerfect downloads to work with SuSE? I caught the tailend of the discussion about it but never saw the actual how-to.
