Actually, a company that I worked for had standardized on Microsoft Exchange for e-mail and scheduling, but a friendly sysadmin was able to hook up a web-based interface for me since I was using FreeBSD as my primary OS and dual booting into Windows only to read mail. You might look into that. Also, CompUSA has been selling Business Logic's Xess spreadsheet for Linux for about $20 recently. I haven't pushed it too hard, but it's a pretty nice-looking and easy-to-use spreadsheet. Unless you require some pretty esoteric functions, it's probably got you covered. --Chip Morton At 02:48 PM 2/29/00 , David Scheidt wrote: >The very few things that UNIX machines don't do for me aren't solved by any >MicroSoft products.
