I work for a large company where the office software standard on 20,000
PCs is SmartSuite 3.1.

They are planning a move to SmartSuite97 under NT - at huge expense in
new hardware and NT licences :(

This is a shame as SmartSuite is something that is rock solid (as well as
any 16 bit Windows app could be said to be) under Wabi. If Lotus were to
make a native X Smartsuite98 then those of us who do not want to see more
power to Microsoft would be able to push forward 20,000 Linux systems
instead.
