Siag Office
Siag Office is a free office package which consists of the spreadsheet Siag, the word processor PW, the animation program Egon, the text editor XedPlus, the file manager Xfiler and the previewer Gvu. Siag is easy to use, yet infinitely flexible through multiple embedded interpreters and a plugin mechanism that allows other programs to run inside the main document. The supported interpreters are SIOD, Guile, Tcl, and Python.

Question: Has the SIAG OFFICE stopped developing?
I need to know if the development of SIAG Office has stopped?
I have tried to email the guy in charged of the SIAG Office development - ulric@siag.nu and I got an error reply of "Relaying denied" and later on I joined the SIAG maillist and I post a message to the mailist asking the same question, and the message that I post has vanished, as though the mailist is not functioning at all.
The SIAG Office mailist is at siag@edu.stockholm.se btw.
There _IS_ a 3.1.22 version for SIAG
And it is available at ftp://ftp.edu.stockholm.se/pub/siag/, the filename is siag-3.1.22.tar.gz, dated 09/21/00 05:03AM, 1,203,912 bytes in size.
Very nice lean and simple.
I recommend it to anyone.
With some reservations on compilation problems I've been having.
I believe they are due to a lack of a properly installed python interpreter or perhaps another dependency. Not bad against the authors of the program there is just not a good set of checks in the ./configure process.
The machine I am able to install it on has been impressing people at work quite a bit. Especially considering its small size. I'll use it to fork out a resume in .rtf format and see if it gets me a raise. :) then there will be a good review added to this one.
Truly does suck less...
