To quote another poster - "I use CXoffice with Word & Excel both 97 & 2000 and have not had any really major problems." Please forgive me if I seem rude, I don't mean to, but the key phrase in that sentence is "Word & Excel both 97 & 2000"!!! , as in M$ Word 97/2000 and M$ Excel 97/2000. Now in all honesty if you know of another program named Excel that is not a product of M$ I am curious to hear about it. I can see perhaps another named Word (though I doubt it would survive long be the M$ legal sharks attack). Crossover is a subset of the WINE implimentation that allows M$ products, such as those mentioned previously, to run in a Unix environment with falling down and crashing to the ground hard. It answer the calls the programs ask/needs and there for the program has no conflict when trying to access resources, or in otherwords - It has no idea that it's not running in a Windows environment. This holds true for other programs base on Windows code as well. HTH, Curtis On Wednesday 06 November 2002 20:57, Damon Register wrote:

after seeing several posts about Crossover I visited their web site but am still a bit confused. what is the difference between the package and the plugin? Am I correct in thinking that Crossover is not an Office alternative but a tweaked Wine that lets the real M$ Office work in Linux?
