Well, I would both use and welcome a MS Office like program, for a couple reasons. Unlike a lot of people, I use FreeBSD not as a hobby system, but a work system. I need Word Processing, spread sheets, database and would greeatly welcome a program like Power Point. Personally, if they were integrated and worked together, great. IMHO, lack of everyday apps like these are holding FreeBSD back. StarOffice and Word Perfect, (I use both) are a welcome addition to the Unix world and fill a very big hole in needed apps. --------------------- William Woods Date: 24-Aug-98 / Time: 06:53:19 goto to: http//www.freebsd.org. --> FreeBSD 3.0 CURRENT <-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
