Lotus]

Hello,

forwarding Mr Dobbs' mail as expected.

David, at first glance, I think you should know that OOo
doesn't come 
with compatibility filters for Lotus formats. Jpegs and
Bitmaps are easy 
to use though. I don't know how well this answers your
questions though. 
Feel free to let us know more about your situation.

Best,

Charles-H. Schulz.
We have for years been using Lotus Smartsuite. Predominately
Wordpro and 
123.
We are now facing the inevitable. This product seems not to
be supported 
by IBM any more and we are under pressure from database
software 
providers (we use ACT but would consider a change) and our
customers, 
all who have adopted MS office products as their standard
and we are 
supposed to communicate using MS products (Word and Excel).
Okay, we can for new documents accommodate that using Open
Office / Star 
Office. The real big problem we have is converting our
existing Lotus 
documents to  be compatible with the wretched MS products.
typically 
brochures produced which also have illustrations Bitmap /
JPEG. 
Otherwise it means spending heaps of time reproducing years
of documents 
generated using Lotus.
Any suggestions/hints pls.?
You guys are like a breath of fresh air!
Regards
David Dobbs

I know it's not his primary query, but I would suggest
looking into
SugarCRM  ( http://www.sugarcrm.com/
) as a replacement for ACT...
