Harold, It's the downlaod that is the problem. I am on a modem. I can 
get the Linux package and put it in the Linux emulation directory but it 
is too big to downlaod. What I have here is  perhaps a broken package 
for the linux build.
 I do have Open Office working on the FreeBSD laptop.

Ok that is what I will do tomorrow. I had thought the SuSE 7.3 rpm's 
might be too old.

 I do have the commercial TextMaker running under NetBSD in linux compat 
mode. So I can use that in the meantime.
