FreeBSD has several good free word processing programs of its own that you may want to look at - see URL: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/editors.html. Jud There's also doscmd(1), but I doubt that it will be able to run WordPerfect. I recommend Jud's suggestion, to look at the FreeBSD ports.

i've coincidentally found that: Xdos is available at 1. sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/Incoming (will probably be moved to /pub/Linux/ALPHA/dosemu ) source: http://groups.google.de/groups?q=xdoshl=delr=ie=UTF-8oe=UTF- 8newwindow=1selm=2ji219%24qkv%40klaava.Helsinki.FIrnum=1 On Sat, Sep 27, 2003 at 09:51:50AM -0500, fred wrote: I am new to different OS's .

So again, the point would be, if you are going to install DOS, why not just run WordPerfect from it?

[Sound of palm contacting forehead, remind self once again to be more careful in future.] Sorry, xdos/dosemu uses DOS installed to a disk image that lives in a directory, by default /usr/local/lib/dosemu.

Dosbox may work... but seriously... it is probally best to leave old DOS apps where they are... dead... I suggest something like AbiWord2... btw why interested in such a old program? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
