Actually, it's a 'special' version. It doesn't have many of the extras, such as on-line help, so it's continuing in their tradition of having WordPerfect be shareware, try before you buy. However, it does sound as if this time the 'cripple-ware' version won't be nearly as crippled. (Version 7? refused to work after 14 days or so, requiring a reinstallation from the tar ball.) For more / source info: http://linux.corel.com/faq.htm#6 It will be interesting to see how slim this special version will be. If Corel has walked the line between usability and features right, they may just get a lot of people hooked enough to buy the full version. Speaking of which, has anybody seen the CD-Rom version for sale anywhere here in Tokyo? -- Howard --------------------------------------------------------------- Next Nomikai: 20 November, 19:30 Tengu TokyoEkiMae 03-3275-3691 Next Technical Meeting: January, 1999 (details TBA) --------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsor: PHT, makers of TurboLinux http://www.pht.co.jp
