My company is an insurance company, not a software company, so no, I
don't think they'll invest time and money into making KOffice better.

Besides, they're happy using MS Word - it does what they want, and it
comes pre-installed when they buy a PC. And we can script it enough to
have our terminal emulator program do an "automatic" mail merge of data
from our Pick OS to the locally installed copy of Word, and have claim
checks printed by just choosing an option on a non-graphical Unix menu.

Which is pretty slick, actually. :-)
