There are also several reports of folks successfully running Office2000 under Wine, which presumably means that you can run the included VB bits too. -- Andrew -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

Either I missed the first part of this thread, or you've forwarded us a "laughable question" (either way, why is it forwarded?) It's actually not a stupid question, and yes, there is a VBA-like scripting language in development that will be (hopefully fully) compatible with VBA itself. It's called Gnome Basic, and is required for Gnumeric to have full compatibility with Excel spreadsheets - it could obviously fill this role for all of the MS Office formats. Yes, it is sandboxed the Right Way. Even as keen as I am to see all lines cut between Free and proprietary software, it's a pie-in-the-sky fiction to think the rest of the world will see it that way (in the near future). In the mean time, dancing with the devil using software such as Samba, GB, and all the other legacy OS compatible addons we have is a Good Thing. - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to express it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
