8-).  It's not something you wanted to read.  8-).

I saw that as well; it was my impression that this was what was in
"ports" on -current.

If it's not the "ports" version, you should contact him.  You may
also want to search out Amancio Hasty (sorry, no email address
off the top of my head), which is known to be running JDK on FreeBSD.

I know there was an announcement on -hackers that someone was doing
this on FreeBSD-current, but since there were three announcements
on running it "native" on FreeBSD using the BSDI binary, I didn't
pay much attention to it.

Try mailing sef@freebsd.org.  I don't know about WordPerfect.  I know
the static version for SCO worked for me a while back.
