But with my old 8 gb hdd, I had C: & D: both of 2gb each and the rest had
rh5.2 then 6.1 then 6.2 and now 7.1. No problems here. All this runs on a
p120 w/ 48 mb ram.

I am using abiword b'cos it can open all (or atleast most as I am slowly
finding out to my dismay) my msword files. It usually smoothly opens most
word 2000 docs but the formatting sometimes is ugly, it disregards tabs and
all my columns on some pages appear in one single block of text. Sometimes it
complains that a word doc is a bogus file and refuses to open it. I have to
open the file in win and copy paste the text into a new .doc file and that
opens in abiword.
I am also having problems upgrading abiword from 0.7.x that came with pcqlinux
to the latest 0.9.x rpm says that 0.7 which is newer version is already
installed. Strange to say the least.
Kword unfortunately does not support opening either msword .doc or abiword
.abw files. I would prefer to start working in kword but the bulk of my
patient histories are in word .doc files so atleast at the moment kword seems
out. :(

Sharukh.
