Who did you order it from , and what is there return policy ? I dont mind ordering it and trying out if there is some sort of mony back gaurentee from either the vonder or corel. Otherwise it will ba a wait and see type thing. There wp 8 linux sight is very close to non existant for tech issues. nothing on printer drivers. Not a good sing. This had better impprove fast for 2000 version , otherwise useres are going to be pissed. At 02:04 PM 3/31/2000 -0600, Jerry L Kreps wrote:
FedEx tried to deliver my copy of Corel Office 2000 but I was at a funeral, or I would have posted a preliminary evaluation. I knew it was a port that would run under wine. I am curious to know how fast, though, and how stable, which may depend on which version of wine. JLK

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.
