Great news! I guess it is 4.4.2. I'm going to try it tonight on 7.1. It was flawless on 6.4 (not to forget shlibs5 is needed to make gallium font server happy)

5.0 is quite cheap. 50 bucks right from the applixware site.

Yeah, but I like 4.4.2 look and feel more than that of GTK. I know, I am old-fashioned.

Applix 4.4.2 runs excellent on 7.1 if shlib5 is installed. Which is great for me :) - -tosi [snip] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6pzCl6mRH+PEpr2YRArlBAKCgUQMR1+RBrYufFXvgF/k04+Lg9wCfYV5J 3GBPoAix3s2MjCiqq860ZMY= =uRlh -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Is Applix on the SuSE 7.0 DVD? I can't find it anywhere.

No, it's not. It's commercial software. SuSE used to include a demo version, but not any more. Bye, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\

I'm using Applix 5.0 on SuSE 7.0, Debian 2.2, & RH 6.2. Works great. We have Winderz NT and MS Office on our office PC's. The Applix 5.0 spread sheet is much more like MS Excel than the Applix 4.4.2. Applix 5.0 from now on... BTW... Applix 5.0 for FreeBSD is a mess. A lot of problems with their new font server. Can not import graphics except Applix graphics. Second and subsequent invocations of Applix will take up to three minutes, longer if connected to a LAN or Internet. A real mess. FreeBSD blames Applix, Applix blames FreeBSD. Not worth the price of a blank CD. -=[cwa]=- On Wed, 7 Mar 2001, Konstantin (Kastus) Shchuka wrote: :)On Wed, Mar 07, 2001 at 11:37:26PM +0000, Purple Shirt wrote: :)> :)> just to kill the rumors. applixware from office 99 does work on 7.0 i am :)> using it. :) :)Great news!

How? On my box it fails misserably! So what did you do?

Far as I remember..., it's just installing shlibs, compat, another requirement should be installed by default.
