Duke here. I've been browsing/lurcking the list for a long time, and this question is one near and dear. I'd _love_ to trash $ms for good but one little problem prevents: I've got to send WordPerfect compatible documents to my printing/client pick up/pay the bill contact in Anchorage, and not infrequently send completed work to clients ranging from California to New York. I'm aware of the Corel Suite for X, which has a whole lot more than I want to pay for in order to merely produce typeset documents. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Oh. I'm running 2.2.6-RELEASE on a 4G, DOS/w95 on a 514M. ML Duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
