Hi All, @ first, I thought the our list had been blasted with FUD from the Borg, but now I see we are suffering from myopia. Coral, way back said they were & have since saying so, contributed to WINE. Check out the WINE site to confirm this & of course, Coral. In so doing, if you were gonna follow this thread thru, you will also note, that they were & have since done so, speed the release of WordPerfect Suite for Linux, by employing WINE. Hence, Coral have not been playing loose & fast with logic or communications. So, no cheating/dishonesty @ all. In fact, Coral have helped out the Tuc community & they deserve our thanx, not out flames. So maybe we could offer them marshmallows with our now turned down flames & we could all sit around the virtual camp fires & discuss our favourite apps/themes/coffee, etc.... :-) No, I don't own shares in Coral or SuSE, but I do respect them both. *BFN* Greek Geek.

This has nothing to do with SuSE, directly, however, I think it's important that everyone here knows what Corel is "up to."
Their soon-to-be-released Office 20000 Suite is NOT a native Linux Suite, and in fact, the code was NOT ported to Linux. It's a modified 'Bloze version (all versions now have common code) that runs under Wine, which is shipped WITH the Suite. Now, for some this is fine...not a problem. I guess for me, I object to Corel's giving all this "lip service" to supporting Linux, and producing a LINUX VERSION of it's office suite, then having to read a review of the product to find out that it's NOT Linux code at all. I guess is an issue of honesty, if nothing else.
