Oddly enough, the Windows version does the same thing and I've found it scares casual users by replacing their familiar desktop. 8-) However, it works rather well for supplying common document compatability with the Microsoft stuff on *nix. . Koffice looks very promising also. They do it right, one app at a time! However, KDE on FreeBSD is a little shakey at the moment and also, koffice can't write M$Office file types. I think it just reads them. For their first effort, it's really impressive, though. > On Sat, 2 Dec 2000, Lanny Baron wrote: > > > Hello Jim, > > I have the same problem and have asked if there is a cure.
