By November of 2000 I may be retired. :-) phhh. ... smells like typical MS behaviour ;) <evil grin attached> I have to state, that I just don't understand, why the h* the port is that time-consuming. Applixware is a native Unix application and not some kind of hefty win32-api dependend stuff. > > Maybe I'll take a look at Word Perfect. Does it do Word documents? hey, just for the case you guys don't know about it. Applixware 4.1.x and the current 4.4.1 for Linux runs perfectly under FreeBSD 2.2-stable, 3.1-stable and 4.0-current. The Word-Import-Filter in 4.4.1 is _much_ more word-compatible and much more stable than in previous releases. > Don't know about Word Perfect but StarOffice does.

I relly dislike the StarOffice GUI and never in my life had real contact to WordPerfect. (AppleWorks -> Apple Writer 2e -> MS WORD 4 (crap compared to AW2e) -> MS WinWord 2 -> Tex/LaTex -> MS Office '95 [still using LaTex for complex tasks, of course]) -Andreas -- : Anti-Spam Petition: http://www.politik-digital.de/spam/ : : PGP-Key: http://www.tse-online.de/~ab/public-key : : Key fingerprint: 12 13 EF BC 22 DD F4 B6 3C 25 C9 06 DC D3 45 9B : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
