Point taken John. Any news on Legacy OS 4? How's it coming along?john biles wrote:Hello Colonel Panic,
I agree most of the time each new release of an app brings improvements. My skill, time require I focus on Legacy OS as a whole and not just on an application here and there.
I know Puppy on a whole has moved on allowing the inclusion of newer versions of apps with more features. May be one day I'll grab the latest and greatest Puppy fill it up with useful current apps and surprise you all. But for now I can only offer Legacy OS 2 and upcoming Legacy OS 4.
Do Derivative Developers have a right to complain?

John what you say here is the truth!
for the user because too many users are like spoiled children not
knowing how much effort is needed to do anything in computing.
So if one are in it for the fun then that is the right attitude. To be in it
having a hope to satisfy the spoiled User then one goes down the road to hell.
So the solution is to always do what is fun for the Dev and not funthe average User doesn't realize how much time and effort
is spent on the smallest detail to bring the working Apps
that users take for granted.

Just a quick update to what I said above; I've now discovered that Libre Office will save to Open Office 1.0 format (.sxw and .sxc), which unlike more recent versions of the OpenOffice format will open in older versions of Abiword and is quite adequate for what I need. So, problem solved
