Good! The Linux compatability package is part of the standard
FreeBSD distribution, i.e., it's on the CDROM, available by ftp,
etc.?
I called Novell and talked to the WordPerfect/UNIX folks there--or
rather to one woman who said WordPerfect was not available for
"Lenox." Assuming it is, does it run well, in terms of using a
FreeBSD setup for a bunch (50) of people who don't have other access
to computer services (no PCs on their desks)? (That's 50 simultaneous
log-ins, most of whom would be word-processing.)
