It should be noted that at present this requires you to run x-windows -- an entirely different user interface and something very few Mac owners are going to be much interested in doing. I like and use MarinerWrite from www.marinersoft.com. You might also look at ThinkFree Office ($50) available from thinkfree.com or your local CompUSA store. It excels at MS Office compatibility but is slower and klunkier, but again it's almost perfectly compatible with MS and it's 1/10th the retail price. I have heard that WordPerfect 3.5e can be made to function in Classic with the OS 9 patches but I haven't tried it myself. _Chas_ Come to ...
