Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to this fascinating thread. We have plumped for StarOffice for the moment - you can't beat the educational price - Free! StarOffice does chew up a fair slice of memory and can be a little fragile at times, but it is a great advance on M$ Office. It is a real credit to Star Division that they can produce something so much better than M$ Office considering the relative resources of M$ and Star Division. I see that a version 4 of StarOffice is in the offing. We will wait eagerly for the Linux version. Please keep the feedback rolling. Linux really needs Office applictions like StarOffice, Applixware, WP et al to make it in the general population. This exercise has certainly made me more inclined to shun M$ forever. -- Richard Wraith Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering University of Melbourne Parkville 3052 Victoria Australia Tel: (+61 3)/(03) 9344 7249 Fax: (+61 3)/(03) 9347 8784 E-mail: rgw@mame.mu.oz.au WWW Home Page http://www.mame.mu.oz.au/~rgw
