[Jelly Donut <jellyd@jellyd.org>]

Sometime around the 23th of November in 1998, a certain Ben Luey said:

: Corel will be offering Word Perfect 8 for Linux personal edition free for
: personal use. Goto
: 
: http://www.newsalert.com/free/story?StoryId=CnI__qbKbytaXodu 
: 
: for the press release, or 
: 
: http://www.corel.com/cwp8linux/index.htm
: 
: for system requirements, or to signup to be informed when it will
: available (sometime in Nov they claim).
: 
: My demo just expired and I can't access my wordperfect documents (does
: anyone know how to convert them to something else via batch?) so I'm very
: happy.

Well, I'll be buying it when it's available. I like it a lot.

.. and for the demo, when the dialog box comes up saying it's expired,
just hit 'Cancel' and the box goes away and you can still use it <g>
