Did anyone try to port a spreadsheet from Applixware to Kspread?
There doesn't seem to be anye native filter for Applix spreadsheets, so I tried to export it as xls. I tried version 5, and version 4, but when trying to import into kspread, it bombs with this message:
!!!!!!! math.ks Extension !!!!!!!!!!
What does this mean? I'm using KOffice from the standard SuSE rpm's.
It probably means, that KOffice's import filters are still not perfect :) LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Truncated: What happened to the peanut at the zoo

The latest version of perl is 5.6.0 and the one distributed with SuSE is 5.005_03
Are there any plans to issue an update for Perl? I know that this question has come up on the list but there has not been (as I could see) any official (or even semi-official) word from SuSE about it.
I believe there has been a message here from Lenz or Phillip stating that 5.6 breaks some of their pre-existing scripts. This has also been mentioned by others on this list since. Greg

This was one of the reasons, yes. We did not say, that Perl 5.6 _will_ break the scripts, we simply were not 100% sure and wanted to test this a bit before. In addition to that, some of the installed perl modules have to be rebuilt, too, since might stop functioning with the new Perl version. However, by popular demand, you can now download an RPM for SuSE Linux 7.0 (i386) from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/grimmer/RPMS/perl-5.6.0-27.i386.rpm As you can see from the location, this is not an official update - do not come back to me and whine about broken stuff. You have been warned - use this at your own risk. I have not tested it in any way, I just rebuilt the RPM in a 7.0 build environment.
