I run Applixware 4.3 under NetBSD 1.3F and it works well - but it
doesn't load all winword documents, only some of them.  Maybe the
latest version of Applixware does better, don't know..

Applix is very stable and reasonably priced, IMHO.  I've had problems
with XFree getting very slow with Applix, but it's possible this is
caused by the fvwm window manager (haven't had the time to test with
other wm's yet).
