Re: [Alug] Installing WordPerfect on Debian - Why no .deb?
Why is there no deb package for wordperfect? It would make sence its a nice editor, or are there lissenceing problems? I belive there is an error in WP that means you have to pach it to work... but i think that that is just a date problem 00 == 2000 == 1900 type date problem. Its not supported by corel any more, but i think there is a patch... and a big user groupe on the web some where. (It was on slashdot.org a while ago i think ;-) -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze

Yes, it is not free enough to be included in Debian. Try abiword (fairly light, fairly featureful), openoffice (not light, lots of features), siag's pw (very light, not many advanced features), texmacs (middle-weight and very high quality output, incomplete docs) and kword (not tried it), all of which are in Debian, I think. -- MJR| v ---|--[ Luminas internet applications http://www.luminas.co.uk/ ]-----| `--[ http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ ]---------[ slef at jabber.at ]-----'
Anybody got this to work? I've tried and failed, the example in the Readme file talks about adding some lines to the Directors section of the exim configure file, but Exim4 does not have one. HELP!? :-) I'm using Exim 4.01, Amavisd-snapshot-20020300, and McAfee uvscan Many Thanks Chris -- Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris@glovercc.clara.co.uk WWW http://www.glovercc.clara.co.uk Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon
