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.
