list, and by Rick Moen's article "WordPerfect on Linux FAQ"
(http://linuxmafia.com/wpfaq/), I was able to install the version of WP8

Herewith is the latest update on my attempts to install WordPerfect 8.0

only discovered my mistake when I
Someone who still uses WP8--yeah!!! Join the club...my install of WP8 still
runs rings around OO. I've actually found OO to be crashable (often) on my
