Go read... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/editors/wordperfect/pkg/DESCR Then go to... /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect/ And install the port. You may have to go download the file from Corel if you do not have it already, the put it in /usr/ports/distfiles where the installation routine will find it. Then you do... make make install You are all set then Annelise. It is too simple.
