I used to really love WPS, although I don't know how well it would stack up after years of progress elsewhere. The workplaces, templates, and control over attributes were really a kick. The entire system had real depth _and_ polish. When I blew away my last OS/2 box and went all Linux/BSD, the latter gave me even more depth and control, but a lot less polish. Some other things (beyond WPS) probably would seem no longer impressive: Who needs Rexx, when we have Python? > Anyone for mounting a campaign to request IBM to port it to Linux? Or just drop a copy of the source code out on the Net under a reasonable licence (IBM PL, anyone?), and let those interested do the porting work. Alas, it's been tried, and the beast has no brain. -- Cheers, Founding member of the Hyphenation Society, a grassroots-based, Rick Moen not-for-profit, locally-owned-and-operated, cooperatively-managed, [EMAIL PROTECTED] modern-American-English-usage-improvement association. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
