The OS/2 version of SmartSuite 4.0 is not out yet, but they are promising a
1995 delivery (I think). My experience with OS/2 SmartSuite 2.0 was mixed.
Mostly I liked the programs, but there were problems, some of which were also
true of the Windows 3.1 version.

My experiences with Lotus' technical support were very good, however. And MS
Office is piggy and stinks no matter where you install it.

No, it's shifted till next year. I don't know what the latest estimate on the
exact quarter of release has been mentioned recently.

ship 1st quarter of 96.
