Dear Sjoerd, In my experience, it _is_ possible to use Corel's installation script for SuSE 7.0 with SuSE 7.1. However, it omits to create the relevant entries for WordPerfect Office within the KDE2 pop-up application menu. Corel is currently unforthcoming with details on how to create them manually, although it's easy enough to launch the applications from the command line. Depending on how your printer was originally configured, something else to bear in mind is that the default printer option in WPO's Print dialog box ('[System Default] lp1') may cause raw postscript to be despatched to the lp-ascii print buffer, resulting in the output of apparent garbage. To get rid of it, it's necessary to open up klpq, clear the relevant print job(s), and log out and log back in again (thus restoring the print daemon). Other Print dialog options I've learned to avoid are 'lp1, WINEPS' and 'lp4, WINEPS'. The first dumps its output to lp-ascii, the second to lp-raw. Selecting 'lp2, WINEPS' or 'lp3, WINEPS' resolves the problem. It probably arises because WPO assumes 'lp0' to be the default, whereas (as in my case) it may actually be an alias for lp-ascii. I've reverted to using StarOffice 5.2 -- it's simply far more stable than WPO2000 running under Corel's custom-modified version of WINE. An updated authorized version of WINE is available from the Corel website, but if truth be told WPO is most stable run in its original Windows version within an emulator.

Hi,
a question addressed to WPO2000 users: according to the FAQ at http://linux.corel.com/support/html/9400.htm, there are quite a few things that could cause problems with the installation on several distributions, for which adaptions to the standard installation have to be made. There is an install script that was tested on SuSE 7.0, but for 7.1 quite a few things appear to be different. Did anyone install WPO2000 successfully on 7.1? If so, what adaptions had to me made in this case?
TIA, SH
