Its a sick, insane, twisted thought, but would you pay $100
	to be able to use MS Office and similar formats on a vax? (Note: I
	do not believe they have any intention of producing a NetBSD/vax
	port, but if there are enough insane people out there... why
	not? :)

Subject: Applixware for NetBSD


I've been contracting at Applix, doing a port of Applixware to NetBSD.
As feedback into the marketing plan, it would be useful to know how
much interest there is in the port.

To refresh everyone's memory, Applixware is an office suite; that is,
it contains word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software, a GUI
database query engine, etc.  It can read files from M$ Office and many
other products.

The Linux version is priced at roughly $100.  If you'd be willing to
buy the NetBSD version for that price, please send mail to
applix-interest@ihack.net, specifying the number of copies and which
hardware platforms you're interested in.
