samy, there are only a few posts to this list concerning any aspect of applix... I did purchase it and have used it about 4 yrs ago so my memory is not detailed and the versions changed somewhat... what I do remember is that it is a complete MSoffice replacement, it has an ELF programming language which is good but different than any other language we would use so the learning curve is high, but the language compatibility with all the packages is more complete then any package I've seen.... I guess they should consider porting their language compiler to accept awk/perl syntax as more unix users will know awk or perl than ELF, and why learn another stinking language? we're not language professors! o, with that in mind, I'll stop here before I confuse the issue further and provide you with the URL to applix: <A HREF="http://www.applix.com/solutions/office.htm"><A HREF="http://www.applix.com/solutions/office.htm</A">http://www.applix.com/solutions/office.htm</A</A>> dc ---------- From: Samy Elashmawy To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: [SuSE Linux] Applixware Date: Monday, December 28, 1998 2:36PM Anybody here used the applixware data portion of applixware suite ?
