How about writing (and posting) a script that invokes the installer properly lowercases the filenames if required, and BRANDS THE BINARIES?

And if it were shown to the Corel folks, perhaps they could detect FreeBSD and install accordingly. --Brett At 06:58 PM 12/18/98 -0700, Mike Jackson wrote: > > >On Thu, 17 Dec 1998, Eric J.
