There's no version of WP available for BSD-based systems, I believe. There's various System V versions around, but it's not open-source, so that won't help you. Your best bet would be to buy the "Server Edition" of WP 8 for Linux, which includes, along with the modern X version, a character-based version that resembles the classic 5.1 version. You could then run this with the linux emulator. It costs about $500, though. On Mon, 7 Jun 1999, Victor M.
