I am looking for desktop publishing/ office automation software for
Sun Unix: a word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, and
perhaps a database package that have a similar,
intuitive user interface.  I would like to find a set of
software products that were, or looks as if they were
molded from the same user interface concept, like that
on the Mac, or the built-in software on the NeXT.  They
don't have to have the look-and-feel of the two listed
above, but their appearance and use should be internally
consistent, and they should be able to exchange data.
They may or may not be produced by the same company.  My
first thought is that some Motif or Open Look products
under the X11 windowing system might fit these
requirements, but I don't know what is available and
fully functional at this point.

	I am as interested in gathering evaluations and
opinions based on experience with such products, as I am
about getting a list of such products in the first
place.  I welcome any input concerning their
ease-of-use, consistency of appearance, data
interchangeability, and problems you may have
encountered.  Thanks very much,
