- Please post any emailed words of wisdom. I did manage to get Word 5.0
- (what, laugh? _I_ originally picked FullWriteProfesional for A/UX use)
- onto my A/UX 3.0 system, and do not remember if anything was odd or not (I
- am using a personal system folder). On the other hand, I have not been able
- to install Canvas 3.0 . Initially the problem was that it insisted on
- installing into the root, but even access was grnated and installation was
- progresing it gets some sort of file error (very repeatably, and I already
- tried replacement disks) when decompressing some files. I do not have the
- space in my Mac OS partition to install it (oops). So the 90 lb manual
- (and sw) sit unused (the previous version still works).
