When trying to run Word Perfect 5.0 with TERM set to 'gui_color',
I get an error message as follows:

$wp
libsocket: open(/dev/socksys) failure: no such file or directory
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open Display

There definitely is no device file called "/dev/socksys".  Does this
imply that Word Perfect for SysV 386 3.2 was compiled to use 
sockets instead of streams with X11?  Other X clients work fine;
Xclock, Xterm, etc...

Does anyone have any suggested work arounds, or should I just ask
Word Perfect Corp. for a SysV 386 3.2 version that uses streams?

If Word Perfect doesn't have a streams version, is there a public
domain source for SysV 3.2 sockets?
