Here's the siag spreadsheet program and pathetic writer word processor latest versions. If you just want siag spreadsheet install everything except PatheticWriter-3.6.1.pup. If you just want pathetic writer install everything except Siag-3.6.1.pup.

That is beatiful !! Thank you so much for breaking it up so that I could simply install pw rather than the whole pkg.

EDIT****

I installed and get this when running pw,

Okay, I'll check into it in a bit.

download and install the new Libmowitz and the problem should be fixed.

Downloaded the new pkg as instructed and get this when running pw.

I think you may not have installed Siag-3.6.1-shared-files.pup. That has shared files that several of the siag office apps use.

You are correct. I must have scrolled past that attachment.. Sorry

i've just installed siag spreadsheet plus pathetic writer. but how do i start the programms? i'm not using the standard-version.

I've been using a couple of puplets that have siag office installed and I'm experiencing a problem that I hope someone here can help with.

When I mouse-over on the font, font size, or style? drop down menus, I get the little helper tag that says what it is, but the drop-down menus don't actually work.

That's how it usually is. Sometimes they work, but when the drop-downs DO work, the fonts don't set to what I choose.

Anyone else seeing these issues or know what to do about them?

Sully

Do you mean for the editor or the spreadsheet?

The problem exists in both applications.

Last night I played with it some more and it appears that the drop down menus may just be 'clunky' in that they do eventually open.

But none of those options are kept or applied when I select them. I pick a font, click on it, and it reverts right back to Times or becomes some other random choice, usually Helvecia (I know I didn't get that right).

Siag Office at version 3.5.5 is in the Business section, it works with wary5+ and puppy 5.2+ if anyone is interested. Topic no is 32881.

We are not sure what is happening here with 3.6.1, maybe the op could pm me as the package is being considered for "puppying" in the PPM.

I seem to remember that the code for those menu items was just stubs -the menu items were not yet implemented.

The 3.6 version is very broken. Even though there are a few version numbers between 3.5 and the last, the substabtial changes were actually pretty minor -just enough to break things before abandoning the project. LOL

see my last note under Siag 3.5.5
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 739#493739

to see where it's at as far as i'm concerned at present.

This may need a dedicated programmer to sort out and that's what I am !Definately! !not!

edit: just found this, note he's talking about 3.6.0 here(35x=Office3.3 and 36x=office 3.4) I believe.

----------------------------------
This is a prerelease of what will become Siag Office 3.4. Being a
prerelease, some of the functionality is not implemented, does not work
or is not properly documented. The purpose of this release is to give those
who wish a chance to try out the new version before it is officially
available.

Here is a list of things that are new from Siag Office 3.3. Some were
implemented towards the end of the 3.3.x development cycle; items marked
with a + are completely new.

+ Examples for all functions.

+ Hundreds of functions, many Excel compatible, all documented in
the function reference.

+ Arbitrary precision integer functions.

+ Arbitrary precision floating-point functions.

+ Rudimentary loading of ABS files.

+ New operators ** (power) and \ (quotient).

+ Complex numbers; example in complex.siag.

+ Matrix functions; example in matrix.siag.

+ New or updated documentation, automatically generated from the source.

+ "C" interpreter translates expressions to Scheme rather than evaluating
the expression itself.

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but I came across it while trying to get Siag going in Arch (After sorting out an initial problem with fonts which prevented it from starting, I have the same problem as sullysat), and it is misleading.

Just to confirm, I tested the .pet packages from here in Puppy 4.1.1, and they work beautifully (well, maybe that isn't quite the right word to use in connection with Siag ). No missing or non-functional gui elements, no stream of error messages in the terminal, and no obvious crashes like in Arch. So maybe it is simply suffering from a lack of maintenance to keep it working with the latest version of some dependency, or something like that.
But plinej, if you're reading, do you have any recollection of what you did when you repackaged libmowitz to fix it?

"BadDrawable" is some of the many error messages I get on Arch, so maybe I have the same problem you found a fix for...
