Re: Corel WP and APC Mag.

Hey There,

I have got it up and running. The first thing I noticed about the CD is that
the directory and file names are all lowercase, while the HTML files on the
CD they have put capital letters in for the first characters. Not a problem
in Win95, but it *is* in Linux. When you click on the link, and the address
bar thingo shows the new address, if there is any capitals in the name,
change them to lowercase letters and it should work fine.

As to getting Word Perfect going. I did:

cd ~
cp /mnt/cdrom/bandbust/wplinux/guilg/guilg00.gz .
tar zxf guilg00.gz
cd guilg00
./Runme

Obvisously, you'll have to double check that I've got the file names and
thing correct, as I only did them from memory. Word Perfect runs perfectly
on my Slackware machine.

Cheers.
Dazz
