Success! -- 11:01 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I finally managed to get WordPerfect 8 for Linux installed on my Red Het 7.1 system. After digging around I found a solution. Following advice on the WP8 for Linux newsgroup, I installed the following two files off my Red Hat 6.2 CD:If you don't have a Red Hat 6.2 disc handy, you can get the files from your friendly local Red Hat mirror. Once those were installed, the installation program ran fine. Kind of silly, but it works. Hopefully that will not cause some other problems.

I never got printing to work right under Mandrake (their CUPS printing system is a nightmare, IMO). It worked right the first time with Red Hat 7.1. I'm certain now that WordPerfect will be my word processor of choice in Linux. I'd like to buy the latest version though so I can get TrueType support.

And yes, Qbe was right. StarOffice is a great big pig.
