Dear Victor Cardona,

I am afraid you have to run portmap(8) in order to make Wordperfect 8=20
work properly. If you wish to enable portmap at boot time, you'll find=20
the magic line (portmap_enable=3D"YES") in rc.conf(5).

IIRC, I posted my own woes (subsequently followed by a solution) a few=20
weeks ago.

HTH,
Salvo
