hehe, actually, it worked pretty good via symbolic links too:-) That's what
I did here, I left the original files in the original directory, then just
created symbolic links to the files in the install directory (without the
.gz extension as per the file "names").
Also, it worked out great running the install program via xFree:-) The only
hitch I found was that linux.corel.com cannot be found on the internet?
Anyone know why?

The hitch I ran into on that is that I'm running a epson 800+ on my linux
box, and the printers listed by the wp install program does not show
anything that even comes close, so I had to select the ascii printer, (How
that will work with formatted documents?

Does it run from the Text window too? The GUI looked pretty close to
version 6 for dos? Doesn't even come close to version 7 for Win95?
