As you collect solutions, please post them here. There are a lot of people who would like to know just how usefuly new users find programs like GIMP, LyX, OpenOffice, etc. (And whatever happened to the acrobat distiller server for Linux?) You might find this article on GIMP vs Photoshop worth reading: http://www.linuxorbit.com/features/terril1.php3 > WordPerfect 3.5e---------- "What Linux Program?" I'm not offering this as a solution. I'm just taking the opportunity to provide info on a way to get the old Wordperfect 8 for Linux running with current distros. With much hunting you might find a copy of WordPerfect 8 for Linux. If you happen to find one, some patching is required: Filtrx (the One Billion Second bug) fix: http://noframes.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5655&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0 Ghostscript printing bug fix: http://www.netby.dk/Oest/Europa-Alle/vermeer/wp8.html Satisfying its libc5 dependency -- notes on getting WP8 working with Mandrake 8.1, something similar can be done for other distros (taken from another user's experience): 1) Install the libc-5 package from the third disk of Mandrake 8.1 or from the Cooker archive. The libc-5.3.12-36mdk from the Cooker archive seems to work. 2) Install ld.so package from an old Mandrake version. You can try ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk from Mandrake 7.0. You may also be able to use the package from 7.1 or 7.2, but if you have problems with package conflicts, Mandrake 7.0 ld.so seems to work. _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
