Subject: [SuSE Linux] S.u.S.E. LAUNCHES LINUX OFFICE SUITE 99


The suse-announce mailing list has just published the following [extract]:
==========================================================================
S.u.S.E. LAUNCHES LINUX OFFICE SUITE 99

--A Fully Integrated Collection of Office Tools for Linux--

[snip]

Linux Office Suite 99 comes with the latest version of Applixware 4.4.1,
which includes Applix Words, Spreadsheets, Graphics, Presents, and HTML
Author, as well as Applix Data and Applix Builder.  Applixware's latest
release delivers a new filtering framework that has been optimized for
document interchange with Microsoft Office 97. 

In addition, Linux Office Suite 99 integrates Applixware with the powerful
ADABAS D 10.0 database system, enabling users to import data from the
ADABAS D database into Applix Spreadsheets.  Linux Office Suite 99 also
contains the KDE and GNOME graphical desktops, S.u.S.E. fax, the personal
edition of the backup utility ARKEIA 4.0, the popular GIMP graphics
program, and many other features. 

Linux Office Suite is compatible with S.u.S.E., Red Hat, Caldera, and
other popular versions of Linux.  Users who need to install Linux for the
first time can do so quickly and easily with the base system of S.u.S.E. 
Linux 5.3 that is included with the Office Suite.

S.u.S.E.'s Linux Office Suite 99 is scheduled to ship on October 12,
1998. 
Ordering information is available at 1-888-875-4689 and on S.u.S.E.'s web
site at http://www.suse.com.  The Linux Office Suite will also be
available through most major computer retail outlets and other resellers
at a suggested retail price of $79.95.

==========================================================================

My questions: How much of all this will already be in the standard 5.3
distribution?

If you get the Office Suite as an "extra", will it install without
problems on top of 5.3?

Will it be compatible with 5.2, if that's what you already have?

With thanks,
Ted.
