Yes, I read that. It's quite good, but like all magazine reviews, it's
pretty "favourable". You know "it's a great program" even though it may
be crap. I'd like to get the more honest opinions of users, if I could.
That said, I think I'll try Applixware. I have Star-Office 3, and my
main dislikes are that it's big and slow, and that the filters don't
work very well (as an example, I made a file with a .gif in it and
exported as Word 6. The reference to the .gif was an URL, which crashed
MS-Word. Couldn't get Star-writer to save it just as a filename that DOS
would understand.)
I also need the Powerpoint inport/export of Applixware since we use
that in the office as well. (If I could just convince them to use
tgif... Oh, well)
