I was having similar problems. I solved them by pulling the large 23 Mb file from mirror.aarnet.edu.au.using a good old cute ftp under 95. (use mc under linux) it took 2.5 hours. My Word perfect is now up and running well. It was gunzipped then tar xf. then ./runme No probs. Getting the registration to work is a different problem. But I think its worth buying from what I've seen so far. I've given applix the boot! /dlh.
