The worst thing I met with WP8 is it segfault when it's trying to read
a Word file that consists only of graphics and texts. SO 5.0 can read
and print it without any problem. Should be a WP problem, but don't know
where to send a bug report to.

WP8 experience

1998-12-18 Thread Tadeusz Bak

I have downloaded WP8 (from ftp.download.com, file
/pub/win95/business/GUILG/GUILG00.GZ) and installed it in my Debian (hamm)
system under /usr/local. The whole process was very easy: gunzip, untar
and run 'Runme'. However I am a bit disappointed. When I tried to read a
RTF file I got some corrupted text and many black rectangles on the
pages. WP8 didn't report any errors. The same file I could read into
StarOffice 5.0 and then print without any problems. And yes, I have all
libc5 compatible libraries:
$ ldd xwp
libXt.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000b000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4004d000)
libXpm.so.4 = /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXpm.so.4 (0x400eb000)
