-
-!!2. What is !WordPerfect
-
-
-!WordPerfect is a popular, fully-featured commercial
-word processor program that is available for multiple platforms
-including Linux. It was originally
-written and sold by !WordPerfect Corporation, subsequently
-purchased by Novell, then purchased about a year or so ago by
-Corel Corporation (Ottawa, Ontario, CA). Corel has outsourced the
-development of !WordPerfect for UNIX (including Linux) to SDC Corporation,
-a corporation including former !WordPerfect developers, and specializing
-in development for UNIX and X windows.
-
-
-
-
-
-Until the release of Microsoft Word, !WordPerfect was the most popular
-word processor for personal computers
-(it still claims to be by volume of product shipped, some reports
-indicate that more copies were sold than Microsoft Word during recent
-months). !WordPerfect was originally written for DOS and later ported to the
-UNIX and Windows environments. Initial versions of !WordPerfect for
-Windows were very late to market and tended to crash a lot, hence opening
-the floodGATES for Microsoft Word. !WordPerfect is still a better word processor
-than Word for large documents or documents that must be moved between
-Mac, UNIX, and Microsoft platforms.
-
-
-
-
-
-!WordPerfect provides a WYSWYG environment for editing text documents. One
-of the best features is the ability to check your spelling as you type.
-Included are grammar checker, spelling checker, graphics import and export,
-and the ability to edit HTML documents. Documents created by !WordPerfect
-on one platform may be read, edited, and printed on other platforms (I
-have generated a lot of documents using WP 6.0 (Caldera's release)
-and distributed them to
-Windows 95 users using WP 7.0 or 8.).
-
-
-
-
-
-!WordPerfect runs on the following platforms (release or beta versions):
-
-
-*Linux 1.2.13 (!WordPerfect 6.0 for Linux, sold by Caldera)
-*
-
-*Linux 2..X (!WordPerfect 6.0 and !WordPerfect 7.)
-*
-
-*Microsoft DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT
-*
-
-*Macintosh
-*
-
-*HP-UX 10.01
-*
-
-*IBM AIX 4.1.4
-*
-
-*SCO !OpenServer 5..
-*
-
-*Sun SPARC Solaris 2.5
-*
-
-*SUN SPARC SunOS 4.1.x
-*
-
-*SUN X86 Solaris 2.5.1

-!!3. !WordPerfect 7.0 Beta
-
-
-
-
-!!3.1 Impressions of 7.
-
-
-
-I have been very impressed with the operation of !WordPerfect 7.0 for
-Linux. I only recently downloaded it and tried it. It looks like
-WP 7.0 for Windows. The features appear to work properly. I especially
-like the spell-as-you-go feature!
-
-
-The HTML publisher works a little better than that on WP 6., but still
-has some bugs. Someone reported that WP 7.0 requires a lot of
-swap space (I have not tested it at this time).
-
-
-
-
-!!3.2 Getting !WordPerfect 7.
-
-
-
-WP 7.0 is available as several LARGE tarballs from sdcorp's FTP
-site (or via the WWW). I tried for two days to download the 26MB
-archive using ISDN but only was able to get part of the file. I
-eventually had to use a commercial account with a T1 to
-the Internet to get the files. It would be much easier to download
-if each tarball was split into several smaller files (1-2 MB in size).
-Note, when you uncompress the tarballs, the result is a small number
-of medium sized files -- just what is needed.
-
-
-The current version that you can download is time limited to 15 days.
-During this time, you can pay them and they will give you a license
-for it.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-For WP 7.0 Beta:
-ftp://ftp.sdcorp.com/pub/linux_betab/wp7linuxbetab.tar.gz
-4887525 graphics_tar.gz
-17652138 manual_tar.gz
-450535 wp60ms01_us.all
-290443 wp60ps01_us.all
-26962514 wp7linuxbetab_tar.gz
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!3.3 Installation of 7.
-
-
-
-To install, you must extract the tarballs, run the __Runme__ program,
-answer some questions and then run xwp to start WP 7.. Note, you need
-58 MB just for WP 7., prior to the manuals, graphics, etc.
-
-
-
-
-
-#Extract the tarball into a temporary directory, need 31M
-
-tar xvzf wp7linuxbetab_tar.gz
-creates LINUX* files and Runme, the install program
-
-
-#

-
-
-
-
-
-
-*HTML export of a WP document with headers and footers
-sometimes leaves the bottom of the document either centered or bold.
-*
-
-*HTML export of a WP document with a table of contents does not

-
-!!4. !WordPerfect 6.0 (Caldera)
-
-
-Caldera sells both a !WordPerfect and Motif Bundle ($130 US)
-and the Caldera Internet Office Suite ($219 US). Both include
-!WordPerfect 6.0 for Linux.
-
-
-Overall, WP 6.0 has been good to me. I have generated 20-30 large
-documents and numerous small ones, probably 1000+ pages if I printed
-them all out. The only problem that I have is that I use WP Times
-font under Linux and it is not compatible with the WP True Type Times
-font under Windows.
-
-
-
-
-!!4.1 Impressions of 6.
-
-
-
-The author has been using !WordPerfect for Linux on Caldera
-Network Desktop (CND) for the past year. The system is a
-P6/200, 64M RAM, SCSI, CND 1.0 with !RiskyHack patches to
-the Linux 2..30 kernel, updated RPM, and many, many RPMS from
-Redhat and Caldera's WWW sites.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!4.2 Getting !WordPerfect 6.
-
-
-
-Visit Caldera's WWW site at
-http://www.caldera.com
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!4.3 Installation of 6.
-
-
-
-Installation was easy. I just followed the directions provided....
-
-
-I did have to add __wp__ to my fvwm menu (I am using FVWM95
-on CND 1.0 with lots of patches) and to looking glass's menus.
-
-
-My platform is a P6/200, 64M RAM, Caldera CND 1., !RiskyHacks to libc 5.4.4,
-kernel 2..30 (Joliet and FAT32 patches), dual SCSI, CD-R, etc.
-WP uses 74 MB of disk space.
-
-
-
-
-!!4.4 Bugs in 6.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-*Export to HTML has several bugs with complex documents requiring some
-reformatting.
-*
-
-*Occasional crashes (very rare).
-*
-
-*Occasionally WP loops where it uses all memory and runs out of swap space,
-then crashes.
-*
-
-*Some fonts are different between Windows and UNIX versions.
-*
-
-*It has been reported to me that some WP macros for UNIX versions
-are different than those for Windows versions.
-*

-
-!!5. !WordPerfect 5.1 and 6.0 (SCO release)
-
-
-I started using WP 5.1 for SCO (which was statically linked) since January,
-1995. In the Spring, 1995, I obtained a copy of WP 6.0 for SCO
-(dynamic linked) and was able to install it with some
-pain. I subsequently have had some problems with the license manager. I have it
-running under 1.2.8.
-
-
-This section is mainly from the original !WordPerfect mini-howto. It has
-not been used in a long time. Note, the more recent versions of WP for
-SCO included both the dynamic and static linked versions, and hence
-did NOT require SCO's shared libraries.
-
-
-__This is mainly for background information! If you really want
-WP for Linux, get the new WP 7.!__
-
-
-
-
-!!5.1 Impressions of WP/SCO
-
-
-
-WP for SCO seemed to work fine (once the installation problems were overcome).
-I used this distribution for about 6-12 months until I received a copy of
-WP 6.0 for Linux (Caldera) and CND 1..
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!5.2 Getting !WordPerfect WP/SCO
-
-
-
-Contact SCO or visit their WWW page at
-http://www.sco.com
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!!5.3 Installation of WP/SCO
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-!Requirements
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-* Linux 1.1.x to 1.2.x
-*
-
-* modules (dynamic module loading software)
-*
-
-* iBCS2 (Intel BCS2 and ELF loader module)
-*
-
-* SCO dynamic libs (if required)
-*
-
-* Domainname should be setup
-*
-
-* Hostname should be setup and be less than 8 characters (localhost is 9)
-*
-
-
-
-
-
-!Kernel Requirements
-
-
-The kernel should be setup for module support and ELF support. If you have already
-done this, skip this step, else, do the following as root:
-
-
-
-
-
-* Load kernel in /usr/src/linux.xxx] and make sure that the symbolic link to the
-/usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm directories are setup (see
-/usr/src/linux/README).
-
-* Build module support and install it (see below)
-
-* Build iBCS2 module and install it (see below)
-
-* Build kernel with module and ELF support (answer Y to BINFMTthinspELF and
-MODthinspVERSIONS)
-
-* Reboot on new kernel
-
-* Note: you have to build the module support file "genksyms" PRIOR to making
-your new kernel (telling the kernel to export symbols:
-CONFIGthinspMODVERSIONS=y).
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-
-
-
-
-!Modules
-
-
-
-
-
-Loadable module support is required for iBCS2 and hence to run WP 6.. Get the
-latest from the ftp sites, build it, and install it. If you have
-already setup your system for loadable modules, skip this step.
-Loadable module support (/sbin/insmod,
-/sbin/rmmod, /sbin/lsmod) is required. With recent kernels, genksyms is also
-required.
-
-
-
-
-
-* File: modules-1.1.87.tar.gz (or latest)
-*
-
-* Put tar file in /usr/src/modules and build module support
-*
-
-* Read the README in /usr/src/modules (or wherever you put it)
-*
-
-* Cd to /usr/src/modules/genksyms and make genksysms, install it in
-/usr/local/bin (or /sbin)
-*
-
-
-
-
-
-!iBCS2 Emulator
-
-
-The iBCS2 emulator allows you to run SCO binaries such as !WordPerfect 6.. Get
-the latest from the ftp sites, build it, and install it.
-
-
-
-
-
-* Build and install in /usr/lib/modules
-*
-
-* Read the HINTS file (/usr/src/ibcs/Doc/HINTS)
-*
-
-* Make sure that iBCS2 sets up /dev/XOR, if not, create a symbolic link from
-/dev/null to /dev/XOR (cd /dev; ln -s /dev/null /dev/XOR)
-*
-
-
-
-The interfaces to some subsystems occur at the device layer and thus you need to
-create some device files in order to use them:
-
-
-
-
-* /dev/socksys and /dev/nfsd - interface for SVr3 STREAMS based
-TCP/IP applications
-# mknod /dev/socksys c 30
-# ln -s /dev/socksys /dev/nfsd
-[WARNING: the below may already be setup as /dev/inet,
-/dev/arp, etc., they may have other major/minor numbers,
-if so, skip this step
]
-* /dev/inet/{arp,icmp,ip,rip,tcp,udp} - more network hooks
-# mknod /dev/inet/arp c 30 2
-# mknod /dev/inet/icmp c 30 2
-# mknod /dev/inet/ip c 30 2
-# mknod /dev/inet/rip c 30 2
-# mknod /dev/inet/tcp c 30 2
-# mknod /dev/inet/udp c 30 2
-[[THIS IS REQUIRED AND WILL USUALLY HAVE TO BE DONE MANUALLY!]
-* /dev/X0R - server side of SVR3 local X interface
-(see comments in Doc/Local-X)
-# ln -s /dev/null /dev/X0R
-* /dev/spx - client side of SVR3 local X interface
-(see comments in Doc/Local-X)
-# mknod /dev/spx c 30 1
-
-
-
-
-
-!SCO Shared Libraries
-
-
-
-
-
-__DO NOT VIOLATE SCO's COPYRIGHTS!__ You should get a copy of SCO's shared
-libraries and install them in /shlib. As root:
-
-
-
-
-
-* cd /; mkdev /shlib; chmod 755 /shlib
-*
-
-* if required, make a temporary directory and set TMPDIR to it (export
-TMPDIR=/mytmpdir)
-*
-
-* Copy the following SCO shared libraries from the SCO machine to Linux and
-put in /shlib:
-
-/shlib/libX11R5_s
-/shlib/libXtXm*
-
-
-*
-
-
-
-
-
-!Loading WP60
-
-
-
-
-
-Make sure that you have LOTS of space in your /tmp directory. If you do not have
-lots of space, make a tmp directory and set the environment variable TMPDIR to it.
-As root first try the following:
-
-
-
-
-
-* Mount the CD (e.g., to /cdrom)
-*
-
-* cd to the CDROM and run the ./install script
-*
-
-
-
-If you get the following error you may not have enough space in your /tmp directory,
-make a new tmp directory and set the environment variable TMPDIR (see above):
-
-
-
-
-ERROR: not enough space in /tmp, or this is an unsupported machine.
-
-
-
-If all else fails, you may have to do it manually per these notes:
-
-
-
-
-
-* get iBCS2 running
-*
-
-* copy the $WPDIR/cdrom/install.wp to $WPDIR and edit it I changed it so I
-could create /tmp/WpTmP on an NFS server (did not have the space locally). I
-then ran the program and made changes until I got it to startup.]
-
-* change to TMPDIR and run: ifiles/cdlink.sco -r /usr/local/wp60/cdrom This
-builds links with the proper names but the permissions are not set properly.
-
-* make a temp directory on the server and copy all files to it:
-
-cp -r WpTmP/wp60/SCO/* wp60
-
-
-* change to the temp wp60 directory and changed permissions. cd wp60; chmod
-555 wpinstall install/*
-
-* run the wpinstall program and answered the questions.
-
-* Because I still have the flexlm license manager for WP51 on the system, I had
-to manually run wplicense -e and create a new license.dat.
-
-* Start WP60.
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-
-*
-

-
-
-
-
-
-!License Manager
-
-
-!WordPerfect uses a license manager (see the manuals). This is a tricky beast that
-sometimes does not work properly under Linux (I have had it fail, done something
-else then I was able to start it). If you have problems call !WordPerfect and they can
-assist you. Please __RTFM__ the documentation section on the license manager.
-
-
-
-
-
-To start the license manager, as root:
-
-
-

-!Starting WP60
-
-
-
-
-
-* start iBCS2
-*
-
-* start the license manager
-*
-
-* setup your DISPLAY environment variable (e.g., export DISPLAY=gator:)
-*
-
-* run xwp ($WPDIR/wpbin/xwp filename.wpf &)
-*
-
-
-
-If you get the errors:
-
-
-
-
-/dev/XOR: No such file or directory
-Error: Can't open display: :.
-
-
-
-You need to set up your DISPLAY environment variable (per above) and possibly
-setup the link to the device /dev/XOR (cd /dev; ln -s /dev/null /dev/XOR).
-
-
-Note if WP "steals" the colors from your X server (a problem if the depth is only 256
-colors), disable the display of the graphics banner page by doing the following:
-
-
-* Start XWP
-*
-
-* From the control window, click on Preferences
-*
-
-* from the Preferences window, select ENVIRONMENT
-*
-
-* From the ENVIRONMENT window, turn off the checkbox for "Graphical
-Banner and Startup Screen"
-*
-
-
-
-
-
-!RC Scripts
-
-
-You will need to add a line to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local script (or similar) to start iBCS2
-and the WP license manager (if desired).

-!Changes to install
-
-
-This was extracted from my original notes and includes changes to
-__install.wp__ that are reported to work:
-
-
-The install.wp on the CDROM did not work out of the box. I had to modify it to get it
-to work by moving all files to a temporary directory and changing this install script.
-The changes are:

-!!5.4 Bugs in WP/SCO
-
-
-
-I did not keep a detailed list of bugs for WP/SCO, however:
-
-
-*The initial version had install problems.
-*
-
-*The initial version used SCO shared libraries, hence required a copy of
-them on Linux.
-*

-!!6. The Future
-
-
-Sometime in August, !WordPerfect 7.0 for Linux should ship. It should
-be available from
-SDC for
-about $149.99 for a competitive upgrade or $199.99 retail.
-
-
-
-
-
-Corel is working on porting their entire office suite to Java and
-releasing it as Corel Office for Java(TM). This currently is in Beta
-and works on Linux (I tried the first beta -- very slow). Check out
-http://officeforjava.corel.com/about.htm for more information.
-This promises to be something to watch.
-
-
-
-
-
-SDC is currently working on WPLinux 8 with an expected beta mid 1998
-and a release following by about 5 months. SDC has indicated that
-if there is not sufficient demand for WP for Linux, they will probably
-not ship it (they already stopped shipping for SGI and UNIXWare) --
-__so if you like it, buy it!__
