What could be the problem?
Probably a script that invokes an interpreter you don't have (did Corel use csh?), or invalid permissions. Check the file with 'file' and/or by eyeballing it (less/more) to see what it is and what it *should* be doing. I'd also strongly recommend you take a look at Rick Moen's painfully complete Wordperfect on GNU/Linux FAQ: http://www.linuxmafia.com/wpfaq/ Peace. -- Karsten M.
