Turboprint, the dictionary > which started this thread, ... OK well theres not a lot that *I* need in home user apps that I cannot do in linux. Maybe a good CAD program like the fine german malz-kassner cad program for drawing my renovations. The net has not only helped spawned linux, but also the OS neutrality of the www assists linux. I can use online dictionaries from linux, mac, unix, beos, even windows. I don't really know about the dictionary that started the thread, the page is in german, i suspect the dictionary is too. not of any interest to me for that reason, except that i *am* pleased that the manufacturer has released it for linux. I agree with the proposition that if you need to pay for a program and there is a choice between equivalently functional linux/windows programs, go for the linux vendor! -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
