Hmmm...what I wonder is whether this may have something to do
with Lotus' statement recently that they will no longer continue
development of SmartSuite, for any platform.  I understand that
that they did have plans to add new features, more Web enabled
I think, but they packed it in.  I prefer it (my OS/2 version) over
MS Office.

Wish I knew what the relationship is/was.
