OT: SCO/WordPerfect

A few months ago I posted a question of getting WordPerfect 5.1 to work on SCO OS -- it was indicated that there was not a problem & some of you have done it.

The folks that sold me the computer installed wp for me -- and it does come up fine.  Once I got the system and am attaching printers, I'm finding some problems.  I can't print as a user, only as root.  Best that I can figure, the license daemons are not running, in fact the license.dat and two user daemons mentioned in the manual are not on the new system.  I tried just copying these files over, and it may have been the cause of an unexpected crash today....not sure.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

In anticipation that I may have to scrap this old program, what do SCO people use these days for word processing?  We don't do anything fancy -- merges from Filepro mostly.

Thanks
