David, No, I've been working with some systems which belong to a nationwide wan tied into some agencies in DC. They all use Applix on Sun as their productivity suite and recently came out with some new runtime apps which run out of ApplixWare's Database & spreadsheet. Those are Sparcs not 386s. Applix runs on them all and seems like the BEST and most appropriate package to bring into Free Unix. RedHat's latest looks absolutely gorgeous and is supposed to import/export MS Word and WordPerfect. Meaning you can leave MSOffice at the retail shop.... -Mike David O'Brien wrote: > > Hi Mike, > > I take it you are in the D.C. area? What do you know of the DoD's use of > Applix on Suns?
