Thanks a lot, ke4nt! I haven't tried siag office before. Just downloaded the .dsl and tried it out. It looks great! Powerful app it seems. It even has quite decent import-/export-filters. Impressed!
Thanks again  :)

p.s. Answered your question in the mydsl-wishlist post, chris. Good luck with magickpoint! Hope my answer there helps.

@cbagger01:
Excuse me I am not sure I understand you correctly. Sure you already recognized I am not a native speaker.

Is it better to use .uci or .dsl files for a hd-install of DSL (0.8.0) on a low RAM machine?

For DSL version 0.8.x livecd users, they should use *.uci in order to save RAM

For DSL version 0.7.x livecd users, they should use *.ci and associated user.tar.gz files in order to save RAM

These rules also apply for frugal or poorman's install users.


However, for full hd-install users, you should use *.dsl or *.tar.gz files.  And of course you can always use a package managerment system like apt-get/dpkg/Synaptic or compile the program from source.


FYI, on the Siag Office conversion options, you can also MANUALLY convert a MS Word document to a text file or a postscript document by using the included command line utility called "antiword".

I believe that the command is located in the /usr/lib/siag/antiword/ directory.

You can get more help by going to this directory and type:  ./antiword -help

I installed abiword.dsl and I am satisfied with it.
It 's a good solution for my slow machine.
