The problem here is that first, the directory structure changed, and
second, WordPerfect is not packageable because the license prohibits
redistribution.  You will need to fetch this manually by hand.  

You can fetch it from:

	http://linux.corel.com/linux8/download.htm

If you have the ports tree and you put the downloaded gzipped file for
WordPerfect in /usr/ports/distfiles, you can use the port mechanism to do
the installation for you (in /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect).  You can
also just gunzip the file and follow the instructions - I've done it both
ways and either one works fine.
