Heya Blugers,

Can somebody offer advice on how to get Corel WP8 to
run on my Red Hat 5.2 system?

I downloaded (as root) the file from the Linuxberg
(sp?) site and untar'd (er whatever) and gunzip'd it.
Then I ran the Runme file that (magically) appeared,
as per instructions. The whole mess is in
/usr/share/Corel/.

I just can't seem to figure out how to launch the
damn'd thang. I went through the entire Corel install
process with all the gorgeous dialog and graphics, so
it seems to have installed correctly (as if I would
really know).

Am I just too clueless to find the (ahem) ".exe" file,
or could my installation have been corrupted somehow?
I vaguely remember something about a desktop icon from
the install.

Anyone use WP8 out there? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Next step: Star Office. (God help us
all.)

TIA,
steve
