The long-awaited release of version 8 of Corel's Word Perfect will be available for download this Thursday, December 17th. More than 60,000 Linux enthusiasts have registered to be notified of the availability of the no charge download of Corel® WordPerfect® 8 for Linux®. The download will be available from CNET [www.download.com] starting Thursday, Dec. 17, 1998 and from additional mirror sites at [http://linux.corel.com] starting December 22, 1998. "We are very encouraged by these results," said Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and chief executive officer of Corel Corporation. "When we first set up the registration process we had no idea what type of response we would receive from the Linux community. This response indicates that Linux is rapidly becoming a notable operating system and there is a strong demand for powerful applications on the platform." The shrinkwrapped version of Corel WordPerfect 8 for Linux Personal Edition and the Corel WordPerfect 8 Server Edition for Linux and UNIX® are scheduled to be available through regular retail channels in the next couple of weeks.
