wordperfect 8 download

[jacktux]

hello again,
i finally got the cdrom to work and tryed to install wordperfect8 on mandrake 8.1
it told me that i need to unzip the files??/ Can i use zip programs for linux??? :cool:

Yes you can. It's called gzip or gunzip.

Actually gzip can do extraction and zipping.

gzip -d filename...

gunzip filename

The manpages explains all. man gzip

[Mr Myaghi]

that's true but not the whole truth. There are gzip files (more common) and there are just ordianary zip files. For gzip files use gunzip filename, but for zip files use: unzip filename
That should work.

I stand corrected.

I usually just right-click (using KDE) on the zip and select extract here.
