Just to add to the general assent; whilst SO still has some serious problems (possibly related to the Linux Motif libraries and 24-bit displays), and some annoying idiosyncracies, the wordprocessor is more than competent. You'll want a healthy system (I was using a P100/64), and a little patience while it starts, but once running it's quite useful. (I spent half an hour or so quite happily dinking a 100-page MS Word document before realising that I was running a Linux LKM with DEBUG defined 8) If people are vaguely interested, I'd be happy to put my installer up for general grabbing, however I would _really_ like someone with a Linux machine to do a _full_ install and then give me an ls -lR and preferably a recursive md5 of the whole thing installed, as the installer falls a little short of getting it quite right. Note also that the current version expires in a month or so, but I'm quite happy to repeat the process for the released version if/when someone can get me a full listing of installed files, as I hope to convince the powers to invest in a couple of seats worth. -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
