[Michael W. Holdeman]

I have 4 machines 3 running Gentoo Linux, and 1 server running FreeBSD. 
I do a fair ammount of swapping with documents between Win32 Office 97 files 
and Koffice with marginal success, as stated the other way around is bad!
Usually the docs I can't get with Kffice I can get with OO, then eventually 
get them into Koffice.

(I like Koffice because it is lighter, runs better on my 300mhz laptop)
