sun microsystems has at their site at better office suite than the office
suite available from "microhorrow". The sun.com free office suite includes
a wordprocess, a math package, a presentation package and a spread sheet.
and is called staroffice 5.2 which can be downloaded and used free.
Besides being better than the one that costs so much, the suit has a great
math package, is as near as i can tell compatible with the
files of "microhorrow" so why pay for what is better for free.
The great advantage to the staroffice 5.2 is that it runs on linux as
well as M.Windows(their trade mark acknowledged) and I am told will soon
also run on the mac.. and is programmable in java.
It might be very easy to use it on BD because of its stability and
java smartness..? I really like its graph packages.

Computer Aided Cell and Molecular Biology (CACMB), not medicine, will find
the cure for cancer and other diseases. There will always be a need for
the trained clinician (MD/RN) but, advanced diagnostic and treatment option
selection has become gene based, has moved from the physician's practice to
the computerized cell and molecular biology laboratory, and appropriate
treatment options should now be based on the personal biology of the
patient.
