If you need any sophistication at all, you're pretty much stuck with a commercial spreadsheet. If KDE is too much overhead, don't even think of staroffice--although 3.1 might do it. It's a bit more stable, but if you get too fancy, sometimes you need to open the files with a new version adn save in the old format. Wingz can crash badly--leaving you unable to recover the file *at all* [not that this happened to my gradesheets last fall . . .] I haven't used offix or aplixware. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
