SCO/WordPerfect

[John Esak]

This is so meaningless... I hate to do it... but, I _have_ seen this problem
exactly... I just can't remember what caused it or how to fix it. It might
be something like the wpexc60 program was started by someone other than
root. This can be started manually wihen going into multi-user mode instead
of waiting for the first person who starts WP to bring it up. Actually,
though, I see that our wpexc60 file has been started by "kari" not "root" so
this must have been fixed between 5.1 and 6.0 (or 5.2 actually).  I really
don't know an answer, should not have even rambled this stuff out. Maybe
login to the FP Room sometime when Fairlight is there... often in the
mornings until about 9/10am Eastern Time... or late at night... very late at
night. :-)  He knows WP fairly well, and I don't have anything but 5.2/6.0
to experiment with... sorry.

  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
