My main reason for responding is to find out what text filters are in
5.0. I need to import docs originally prepared with Ami-Pro 3.0 for OS/2.
At the moment I have to load them, via floppy, on my wife's Win3.11 box,
use her copy of Ami-Pro for Win to convert to Word6 format before I can
get SO 4.0 to recognise the files.
Nooo idea on that. They don't explicitly list Ami-Pro in their document
types, but I don't know if that means anything.
Have you tried using 5.0 for web access. I tried with 4.0 but it was too
unreliable so went back to using Netscape? If I could avoid using NS this
would reduce the overhead on running StarOffice - re system details above
:-(
That P233 comment was a huge guess. I don't really have any idea what it
would take. If I needed to use SO often I'd expect throwing some more
memory into this machine to be a biiiig help. SO usually eats up around
15-20 MB, and the almost constant swapping that results on this here 32 MB
computer is clearly a bigger slower-downer than anything else (those
grindy swapping sounds are always a clear sign of trouble). As for Web
access, I've only played with it a tiny little bit. Try it yourself and
then you'll know for sure. From what little I've done it seems slower
than Netscape.
