By "cheaper" I didn't mean "free". If my company begins to use StarOffice, we will pay for it. I believe that an OS should be free. But applications have not. Freeware is fine, but if an application is worth its price, its editors and developers should be paid for their work. Anyway, StarOffice and ApplixWare are far cheaper than M$ products both by their purchase price and maintenance fees... -- Jean-Christophe PRAUD - LUDEXPRESS Game Web: http://www.chronos.org Perso Web: http://www.brutaltruth.com Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu n'gah Bill R'lyeh Wgah'nagl fhtagn.
