Version 7 is available for Linux, free for non-commercial use. http://linux.corel.com. Don't know about checkbook software, though--Quicken for Linux would be really nice.
Re: [newbie] word processing and finance apps
WordPerfect 8.0 is a reasonably good wordprocessor (and free for LINUX: http://linux.corel.com/linux8/download.htm) -- the only problem I have found so far is that "Search and Replace does not seem to work (no matter what you search for, it says string not found -- anyone any ideas how to fix that one?) There are some spread-sheets and you might check out: http://www.gnucash.org/ for a money manager.

As for a check book balancing program, I don't know any to recommend, but you can look around at freshmeat.net or linuxberg.com.. -Tom

You could try staroffice..It's an entire office suite for linux. In fact, if you are familiar with spreadsheets, you could make your own simple check registry. - Original Message - From: pete moss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 16, 1999 8:30 PM Subject: [newbie] word processing and finance apps anyone got any suggestions on what word processing or simple check book balancing programs to use for linux? i am used to ms word, so i would like something that has comparable features. also, i tried to run cbb (checkbook balancer) that comes with mandrake 6.0, but it wont run and gives lots of errors. :P
Re: [newbie] word processing and finance apps
The rumor mill reports that Intuit may be working on a Linux version of Quicken and you've got WordPerfect 8 [download version] on one of the 5 disks that came with Mandrake.

There's Star Office (www.stardivision.com) as an office suite (it's what I use, but it's a bit quirky). And I have Gnucash (www.gnucash.org ?) which is ok, but I miss M$Money 99. Check out www.linuxberg.com and www.freshmeat.org. -- Ty Mixon e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:26147713 Original Message On 8/16/99, 6:30:03 PM, pete moss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote regarding [newbie] word processing and finance apps: anyone got any suggestions on what word processing or simple check book balancing programs to use for linux? i am used to ms word, so i would like something that has comparable features. also, i tried to run cbb (checkbook balancer) that comes with mandrake 6.0, but it wont run and gives lots of errors. :P

It's free for individual use and is fully office compatible. Some might recommend other suites such as Applixware, but I'm not familiar with any other than StarOffice and WP 8, both of which I do use regularly. Mike
