Open Office on Amiga

[GadgetMaster]

If it is less work to write a modern Amiga Office Suite from scratch, why has nobody done it yet?

Why not get some coders together on a new native set of programs rather than try and port the bloated, slow OO ?

I am not much of a programmer so excuse my ignorance in such matters.

I am only going off what others have said. I have no idea how involved a task this would be.

Reds? i'm a neutral so i gues that makes me purple :-D

Right now let me just clarify  we are talking about open source here

As far as I know Papyrus is commercial.

If someone is going to use a lot of man-hours porting Open source software anyway then why not use the same time writing a new Open source Amiga Suite?

I hope you get my point.

If only they could die in peace and never be resurrected again...

@ odin

A lot of people say the same about all things Amiga.

PC folk hope we just vanish and let the platform die in peace insted of dragging it along in a frankenstien form. :quickdraw:
