[PLUG] Accidently broke WP

  I must have accidently removed a library that WordPerfect/8 needs because
it will not load today. What's interesting is that the splash screen comes
up, the process list shows

18233 ttyp1    R     13:08 /usr1/wp8/wpbin/xwp

but the program doesn't finish loading.

  I tried running it through /usr/bin/strace, but it scrolled off the
screen. Trial-and-error hasn't lead me to the proper syntax to send the
output to a file for examination.

  Here's where it's hanging:

times({tms_utime=30, tms_stime=116, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2136175216
times({tms_utime=30, tms_stime=116, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2136175216
times({tms_utime=30, tms_stime=116, tms_cutime=0, tms_cstime=0}) = -2136175216

  Of course, this has been running a few seconds.

  Can anyone suggest how I can determine what I broke so I can fix it? I
have project and administrative documents in WordPerfect that I must get out
tomorrow.

Many thanks,

Rich
