I would love to be able to use koffice -- well, particularly, 
KWord.  I upgraded qt and KDE2.1 (which did not have an upgraded 
koffice) and KWord now crashes so regularly that the KDE text 
editor must come out as superior (I use SO 5.2 if I want to do 
anything serious).  Questions to help straighten out the mess go 
unanswered.  The KOffice site contains no upgrades since the 
pre-Beta 1 version which has been the only one I have been able 
to find for Caldera.

In general, the hype sounds wonderful.  The CVS version sounds 
one heck of a lot better than what I've got on my desktop, but I 
would give my eyeteeth for a useful version of koffice -- stable 
and not development and configurable under Caldera.

Ah, well.  I have asked for several months and no one seems to 
be able to point me to any site at all (the koffice site has 
almost no leads to help me with the problem except for a pointer 
to a caldera site that has NO koffice rpm's, at all).

If anyone has any suggestions or help, I'd love to know, as the 
concepts seem really wonderful and I'd love to give them a try.
