OK, find me a decent word processor / office suite that runs on Digital UNIX
and isn't priced for 100 users. We have been looking for an alternative
office automation tool for our 5-10 workstation environments for our
customers and it's been cheaper to buy an NT workstation and use those
NT-remote packages (NTerprise, Windd, Wincenter).

And of course NT in a multiuser environment is flakey as hell.
