TeX *may* not be easy to learn (the price of The TeXBook is well worth it), but it's not hard to use. It's not suited to graphic-laden documents, though. many would pay good money for Linux native versions of programs like Wordperfect, Corelpaint & draw, Pagemaker , etc. WordPerfect, at least, is available (from Caldera). And then there are the ApplixWare and StarOffice suites. I've been hearing rumours about CorelDraw for quite a while, but nothing concrete yet AFAIK, and Corel are supposed to be doing a Java-based office suite that will run under Linux+JDK. -- Paul Foley <mycroft@actrix.gen.nz> --- PGPmail preferred PGP key ID 0x1CA3386D available from keyservers fingerprint = 4A 76 83 D8 99 BC ED 33 C5 02 81 C9 BF 7A 91 E8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mandrell: "You know what I think?"
