  1. Re:Postscript on How Is Wine Doing These Days? · · Score: 1

    Actually, windows comes with support for printing to postscript files. Simply install any postscript printer driver to the File: port. print to that printer.

    very few people do this. but it is available w/ windows.

  2. Re:Bad Choice of Words? on Corel Wordperfect Office 2000 for Linux Beta Test · · Score: 1
    Corel makes a lot of products, including at least two office suites.
    • WordPerfect Office represents the traditional Office
      • WordPerfect - a word processor (the corner stone, well respected by many)
      • Quatro Pro - a spread sheet
      • Presentations - a presentations package and other additional components.
    • Corel Print Office - Represents a collection of Corel's classic applications
      • Corel Print Office(TM) 5
      • Corel Photo House(TM) 5
      • Corel® WEB.DESIGNER 2
      • CorelCENTRAL(TM) 9
    • CorelDraw Office (I think this one counts)
      • CorelDRAW 9
      • Corel Presentations 9
      • Canto® Cumulus® Desktop LE 4.0 - award-winning media asset management
    To your point of why WordPerfect and that it implies nothing else.
    • For people who remember and respect WordPerfect, Office implies that there's more to the product than WordPerfect which itself has had many native addons which enabled you to make it do almost anything to begin with.
    • For everyone else there would be a lot of confusion, what would it mean to say "I bought Office, and did this and that" people generally omit manufacturer names. When a company is trying to gain marketshare it can not afford to be confused with the primary product on the market.
    Actually, before it was called Corel WordPerfect Suite 8, which I thought was logical but apparently everyone expected the word Office in the title.
  3. Re:Finding format on Slashdot's "Instant" Legal Analysis of the MS Ruling · · Score: 1

    I know WP7 and beyond have save as (and edit in) html. (I can't remember anything about Novel WP 6.x)

    Someone complained about WP; remarking that it needs windows. This is wrong. WP is of course available for linux from Corel for free (to individuals, not businesses). WP for macos is also free (albeit it's an old version).

    I don't think MSWord runs on linux (I can't imagine WINE being anywhere near good enough to handle word's miriad of ...)
