- Siag Office
Siag Office is a tightly integrated,
free software office package for Unix. It consists of thespreadsheet Siag , theword processor PW, the animation program Egon, thetext editor XedPlus , thefile manager Xfiler and the previewerGvu . It is known to be extremely light-weight and hence to run on very old (such as 486, 16MB systems) systems reasonably well. Because it is kept light-weight, the software lacks many of the features of office suites like OpenOffice.org or Microsoft Office. Siag Office is distributed under the terms of theGNU General Public License .The components of the Siag Office suite
iag
Siag is the spreadsheet based on X and Scheme (specifically using home-grown variant [http://siag.nu/online-docs/siod/siod.html SIOD] ). The program has existed in several incarnations: text-based curses for
SunOS , text-based hardcodedVT52 forAtari TOS , GEM-based for Atari,Turbo C forDOS ,Xlib -based for Linux and nowXt -based forPOSIX -compliant systems.PW
PW (Pathetic Writer) is an X-based word processor for Unix. Support for RTF (
Rich Text Format ) allows documents to be exchanged between Pathetic Writer and legacy Windows applications. External converters such as Caolan McNamara's WV can be used to read virtually any format, including Microsoft Word. HTML pages can be loaded and saved, making it possible eres un notas to instantly publish PW documents on the web.Egon Animator
Egon Animator is the X-based animation development tool for Unix. The idea is that "objects" (rectangles, lines, pixmaps and so on) are added to a "stage" where they are then made to perform by telling them where they should be and when. It can also open and edit MagicPoint files.
