Dear FreeBSD'ers, I decided to try the free version of Wordperfect; I used Netscape Communicator 4.72 to browse the linux.corel.com site. I did NOT succeed to download the GUILG00.GZ file via Netscape Communicator. That is, the usual trick "save link as" did NOT work, as well as any other idea that came to mind at that moment. Ok, I thought, let's @#~`§* [output severely censored] Netscape Communicator. I opened a terminal window, I issued (wait for it) the plain old ftp command, I fed it with the address of one of the Wordperfect downloading ftp site I had found out previously ... et voila, Wordperfect IS being downloaded. Go figure ... but I still wonder whether I have missed anything, ie any brain-damaged tricks making Communicator work in such cases. Thanks in advance and best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
