I'm not sure if this is possible with Ovation Pro, but Quentin Pain has
rewritten Personal Accounts as a Java application. The RISC OS version of
Personal Accounts 4 was originally rewritten for Windows as PA 5, but the
new version Personal Accountz 6 is provided as Java on a multiplatform CD.
Although RISC OS only has a basic Java implementation, is a Java based OP
a possible viable option for Windows/Linux, Mac, RISC OS?
On the cost side, it is worth noting that Microsoft's new Office 2007
(Home & Student edition) is available for under £90 as a complete office
suite, including Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc. No matter what you think of
Word, it is the new goalpost.
