I'm not sure if this is the best place to go but sine I have storm 
2000 on my machine, I'll give y'all a whirl...
In last month's MaxLinux mag, it came with a cd chock full of 
goodies including a version of wordperfect 8.  The readme file 
supposedly tells you how to do this but, alas, it doesn't work at all. 
Maybe I'm screwing it up.

It says copy the WordPerfect.tar.gz file to another directory (which 
I did) then gunzip WordPerfect.tar.gz then tar -xvf WordPerfect.tar.  
Then type either ./Runme or sh Runme and the installation starts.
It then extracts the files and proceeds to say the graphical install 
failed and will begin the text install.  I watch it go through this litany 
of files that "don't exist" or what ever. It runs a series of chmods to 
files that it can't find or don't exist.   After getting through 100% of 
the installation, it then asks for the directory of Installation.  I type 
it in, it says, essentially, no way (I can't recall the technical term 
but it was something about it's not being able touse that directory 
or that the directory is not correct...I'm at work now with only 
windoze to work with).
Has anyone else gone through this?  I have tried several different 
approaches and always the same result.
Can someone here help me out?  Between this and the fact that I 
have never successfully installed Corel Linux on any of my 
machines makes me really question why Corel sits high up on the 
linux distros.
