After Corel Linux 1.0 had been out a while, I saw some copies at my local Costco warehouse for ~$25 (US). It included WP 8.1 with a hefty manual as well as a nice little Tux figure which I have sitting on top of my computer (I tossed the rest of the package). WP 8.1 is in .deb format (wp-full 8.1-12) and runs just fine on my woody system. It does not require wine, but depends on both libc5 and libc6, which I find a bit strange: Depends: libc5 (>= 5.4.0-0), libc6, xlib6g, type1inst Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
