Hi: I walked away from Windows, once I installed OpenOffice641, and haven't looked back. PPT, transparencies, life is good. Now, if I could just
Several correspondents have mentioned StarOffice. Will it read MSWord for MacIntosh 2.0? I need that, since I edit copy that comes from this program, via the net. WordPerfect for Windows can do that. I need WINE to do AutoCadLt 95 for Windows, and to run GW BASIC and Borland Pascal programs, which I have had no luck in trying to run natively in Linux. There are also some other Windows programs, like EZNec, that I need to run on occasion. It would be nice to run Eudora, also, which I like better than Kmail, altho Kmail is not bad. I don't understand the reference to "Adobe crap"--below--Adobe created pdf, afaik, so how could it be "crap?" I have never had any trouble with pdf files in Windows, so if someone is having trouble with them in Linux, it is probably a problem with the Linux version of the decoder. Be reasonable: this is mostly a contributor environment, and there may be bugs that have to be worked out. Sooner or later, they will be. I hope and expect. I am not a programmer, so I have to rely on those who are. I am grateful to those who put these bugs to rest. --doug, wa2say At 20:26 01/29/2002 -0800, tom poe wrote: figure
out how to separate Adobe crap for pdf before I download, then life will be really good. My pdf viewer works for "real" pdf, but not the bastardized Adobe crap. Thanks, Tom
