Thanks!! The crossover and the openoffice work pretty good.. I think
I'll settle with openoffice.

I have used OpenOffice in both Linux and Windows and I have been
thoroughly impressed. The only thing it lacks is a substitute for MS
Access. Does anyone know of any such freeware program? Preferably with
versions for both Linux and Windows?
