Does anyone have any programs that play, let alone create, powerpoint presentations (pps, a complicated slide show with sound). I just tried to open one. Corel presentation version 9, either for windows (Under win4lin) or linux, failed to do it. Staroffice 5.2 did it without trouble. The only blemish was an imperfection on the sound, which wasn't quick right in some areas, but, that may due to how SO is configured. Of course powerpoint in win4lin did fine, too. I didn't try the KDE offering, as I don't have the latest Koffice software, but I doubt it would play a powerpoint presentation. So, despite the frequent bad mouthing about SO being "bloated", it seems to work, as opposed to other offerings for the linux desktop. <FlameMe>It would be nice if linux supporters would standardize on a proven performer, instead of always trying to reinvent the wheel. I think people underestimate the difficulty of writing and maintaining software, and especially the overwhelming need to be MS compatible.</FlameMe> Joel
