It gives you a word/excel/powerpoint equivalent (but better, since NOT under M$doze). Word/excel equivalency is quite good. the charter (powerpoint remplacement) is far worst but, anyway, xfig is a better choice for 2D drawing. Applix offer a 190$ deal for the office package under Linux, 80$ for students. Note : I'm only a user of the Applix's products, no connections.. BUT, as everybody say "we better stop using M$ shits" but continue to buy it for word/excel/pp tripple, NOW *YOU* HAVE NO REASON TO CONTINUE. (Just acting the way i think).
