Hi,
I read the mail, then went and downloaded the .gz file (not by the lame methods
of going to the corel site...that is pain in the butt.) but when I got the file
in few minuets and put it in /usr/ports/distfiles and returned to
/usr/ports/editors/wordperfect.It loaded in like 2 seconds. I have here a PII
400 and 64 MB of ram.

When you did the make install, did you go as root do /usr/local/lib/corel/wpbin
and run ./xwp ?

If you didn't that might be your problem. I was able to open my windows word
business plans like fast and they are on a server 20 miles from this box. 

Hope that gives you some help.

Regards,
Lanny Baron
