I second the 6.0beta. It's definately a good substitute for M$Office 2k. It displays & prints all the doc files I used to get at work. Gnumeric is much smaller & handles 90% of the xls files. It's '95 compatible. If you're heavy into spreadsheets, you might miss some of the functions of excel (freeze rows/columns). -- ------- Tom Buskey ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
