Back when I was running NetBSD 1.3 on this machine, I installed the linux_lib
package and then installed the WordPerfect 8 for Linux package as downloaded
from corel.com. Only oddity was that the install script thought I was running
Linux 1.3. :-)

It installed in /usr/local/wp, the same default directory that it uses on
Solaris 2.x and SunOS 4.x.

This box has been upgraded to 1.4.1 and I'm still running WP8 without any 
problems.

On the other hand I could post a really long rant about pkgsrc and installing
Linux "stuff"...
