We bought Applixware here, but it's still not quite good enough to ditch
my MS partition.  It seems to have trouble with _every_ Word or Excel
file I get.  I get "Import Failed" for some reason or other, about half
the time it complains about it being a 'Fast Save document'.  Hovever if
I then reboot into Microslime, save it myself with my totally vanilla
Office97, and try again with Applix it works beautifully.  <Sigh>  Not
very useful if you still have to go into windows to touch every file. 
Maybe everyone I'm getting files from is using Office98.  I know that
one guy is using Office97, but on NT with service pack 3 installed.  

Just sharing my experiences...
