ISP (and Corel WP)

Randall: That's pretty interesting about gis blocking out
other ISP's. Are they affiliated with Microsoft at all? :)

btw, had you been asking on the BLU list recently about
Corel Wordperfect, and what's the difference between the
Standard and Deluxe products? Just wanted to let you know,
if you read Linux Magazine, they have a 1-page review of
the software in the May issue, and they explain some of the
differences between the 2.

As far as they say, the main differences are the inclusion
of a database package called Paradox, as well as many more
fonts and clip art.

Also, I thought it was pretty interesting, that it doesn't
seem like there's actually a port of WP to Linux, instead,
they're running their Windows programs on top of Wine!

Just thought I'd let you know, I'm gonna cc this to the
list just in case it was someone else who had been asking
about WP.
