Installation was a breeze. I even considered paying for the full version. (I guess I won't have to now, if WP8 will be truly free!) To get it to work, you have to make sure you have the Linux compatibility libraries installed. The easiest way to do that would be to install the port (in the ports directory under /emulators/linux_lib/). > >BTW, just signup at Corel's site for a notification on when WP8-linux >will be up on ftp sites.. Anyone who wants to read Corel's press release can find it at: http://www.corel.com/news/1998/october/linux.htm Signup is at: http://linux.corel.com/download.htm I wonder if they are going to release the source for WP so that it can be ported over to FreeBSD...
