Many thanks for the review. The koffice suite sounds quite interesting to me. I know that filters take a long time to mature. I think applix's filters are still doing that since I seem to have issues almost daily with them. After comparing staroffice 5 and applix, it seems that staroffice has better overall filter support. Now if it would just load quicker the first time. I sometimes think it forgot to launch on my P166. As a note on my Dell Inspiron Pii 366 mhz with 128mb of ram, 8mb agp card, it still is poky. Just what kind of system does SO5 want?
SO5 works just fine on my AMD K6-2 400Mhz w/192megs RAM. It takes 10-15 secs to load which is not bad considering. Loads all MS Office97 stuff just fine.

Hi Dee- Thanks for the note re: memory and stuff to launch SO5. We had an issue at work where applix would not open a powerpoint file without the latest patches from www.applix.com applied but SO5 did. As a matter of interest, one of the work machines is a dual Pentium II 450 with 256mb of system memory, and a matrox millenium G200 8mb card. We all sat around waiting for SO5 to load on this beast also. After the first time, SO must load a bunch of stuff into memory since its much quicker. After applying the patches, applix opened in less than 5 seconds and displayed the powerpoint slides in another few seconds. SO5 percolated the first time and then opened the slideshow in a much nicer display. We all settled on applix 4.4.1 overall. Quicker, etc. I like SO5 but it needs some brute system to run it effectively.
