And you can try it out for 15 or 30 days (not too sure) to see if it'll work out for you or not. You can get this from www.sdcorp.com/wplinux/ (kinda messy), and demo from www.sdcorp.com/demos/linux.htm. $84.95 USD for full license doesn't sound too bad... Also, WordPerfect 8 for Linux is in the works, and I think you can download the evaluation beta from their FTP (no luck finding it on their website). I hope *something* works out. Good luck. -- Yong S. Yi Email: ysyi@async.org Phone: 1.256.881.8821 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
