Yes, I have managed to make a port out of koffice 1.90 (KDE2 beta release). While I will admit I haven't done extensive testing, it does seem like kspread (the spreadsheet app in the koffice suite, which consists of kword, kpresenter, kspread, killustrator, and kchart) can do many things. I tried playing around with Calculus equations in it and they seem to work nicely. They also have a bunch of equations you can use (i think this capability comes from kformula, part of koffice). There's also something called "koshell" that basically serves as a wrapper to these programs and allows you to launch them from a nice window, a la Microsoft Office. I must say, it looks really nice. The KDE people are getting very close to making koffice a suitable replacement for Office, although I didn't test conversion capabilities. If people want, I could post screenshots of my KDE2 desktop with all the cool KDE2 goodies. :-) Toodles, -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
