Don't know if it matters but I use Applixware from applix (www.applix.com) on my linux box. With just the english dictionary and help files it is only around 100mb (the manual says 133MB, but since I don't use all the options it kept it smaller). The real nice thing about it is its ability to be a network app. I had an email off the applix mailing list (which I can't find at this time, sigh) that a user had a PPro 200 with (iirc) 128MB RAM had 12 concurrent users using Applixware, total cpu time for the processes was less than 20% and only about half the RAM. Lets see MicroCrap Office do that. I haven't encountered any errors when transfering files from office97/2000, but I don't do much in the way of advanced features (e.g. macros, heavy formatting with images, etc...). Yes you do have to pay for it, but I have found it worth the price. > Well, I just downloaded and installed the new binary version of > StarOffice 5.2 (not the source from www.openoffice.org), and > unfortunately, it sucks just as much as StarOffice 5.1.
