I used Applixware a lot when I was working at Sun Micro and it drove me mad.
It's not very stable and, compared to Star Office, its UI is terrible. I
wouldn't pay the money for Applixware when you could get Star Office for
free and its a much better product.

Hi all!
My experience with Applixware is the opposite of Lindsay's, so I thought
I'd share it. Me and my fiancee bought a version of Applixware a couple of

I have to say that I never used the older versions of ApplixWare, only the

StarOffice absolutely rocks when it comes to file conversions! I have to

StarOffice converts it's files to the other without missing a beat,

StarOffice's Excel importers work better than Corel Quattro Pro's importers
even. I checked it out under Windows (since I have a full version of Corel

I need to know how to track ip addresses with the host name on our system to verify
our dns configuration is correct.
Does any one know of any tools to do this?
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought maybe the fix sent to the list would fix my netscape also, but

An easier way is:
locate java40.jar
assuming your slocate database has been updated recently.
