They've got AIX and HPUX versions so I wouldn't think there'd be too much work to get it to build for us, those being BSD(ish) systems. It's the nicest thing I've used for technical type documentation. I'd be willing to pay for Applixware if it has support for new filters the next time MS changes their word format (again). It's very hard to explain to clients to use Lowest Common Denominator (well for them) when attaching documents. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|Specialist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
