Re: Ultra ATA HD Controller Comaptibility
There is now a Mini-HOWTO on the Ultra-DMA interface, and it addresses the Promise Ultra33 controller.

According to the Redhat site, this controller is not compatible with Redhat ... my questions are: to anyone's knowledge, is the current version of the Debian/Linux compatible (is this version 2.0.33 of the kernel?) and what is it that makes Redhat not compatible with this particular controller?

Re: Wordperfect files in linux
I thought all that was being asked for was a program to read WP files, not write them. Even M$ makes available a program to read MS Word files. -- C.L.

TIA George - George Kapetanios Churchill College Cambridge, CB3 0DSE-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] U.K. WWW: http://garfield.chu.cam.ac.uk/~gk205/work_info.html - Yes. It is called WordPerfect. WordPerfect-6.0 (Novell) for Linux has been available for a good while from Caldera (http://www.caldera.com), and WordPerfect-7.0 for Linux (Corel) has recently been issued (ported by Software Development Corp -- http://www.sdcorp.com). WordPerfect-5.1 runs very well in DOSEMU on Linux. Sun's WABI (also available for Linux) allows most if not all 16-bit MS-Windows applications to be run on Linux. These of course cost money. In the UK, Lasermoon sold me WP-6.0 at a very reasonable price (http://www.Lasermoon.co.uk). The US price for Wp-7 is $199 (or $149 if you trade-up). The following remarks may not apply to George Kapetanios (and I apologise in advance if by chance they cause offence): While it is wonderful to have the Linux OS available both freely and for free, and while it is also wonderful to have so much high-quality free software available on the Net, there are certain types of applications which are not as yet well served by the free-ware resources. These tend to be in the Office/Business area, including databases, word processors, spreadsheets, accounting, project management, and the more sophisticated CAD/DTP applications. If you need to handle this sort of thing, you would pay good money for them if your OS was DOS/Win, just to get the programs you need to do the job. You should be equally prepared to pay good money if such software has been ported to Linux by a commercial software house. This will also assist Linux to encroach on the territory which has been imperialised by other operating systems. One (but not the only) major reason why Linux is slow to penetrate the business/office world is that you cannot readily get the software you need, so that Linux is likely to be a waste of time. In this context you also have to remember that compatibility with file formats produced on other systems is a must: George's own query is an instance of this. Sorry for the sermon ...
