So, GNOME or KDE support is unlikely. I expect this is because they are busy working on a new version. I would expect to see WP2000 be glibc (hopefully 2.1, since potato will probably be out before then). As far as gnome/kde, that might be a pretty big re-write, but I'd like to see that. The current Linux (and other *nix) versions of WP were subcontracted to Software Development Corp. I suspect the new stuff is being done in-house by Corel. Bob

I hear some good things from folks at work about StarOffice on Solaris, I like Word Perfect on Linux. It seems a bit snappier than SO but has less functions.

Re: Favorite WP/Office software...
I'm curious what people feel is their favorite word processor/ office productivity suite I use primarily WordPerfect and StarOffice. Out of these two I think WordPerfect is a more elegant program/environment. WP is definitely faster loading and I tend to use it more. However, I think SO's Word97 filter is much better than WP's, so I wind up using that a lot to import Word documents. -- Regards, | REDMOND, WA (API) --- MICROSOFT (MSFT) announced today . | the the official release date for the new operating Randy | system Windows 2000 will be delayed until the second | quarter of 1901 due to year 2000 problems.
