MAPLE > has been available on the Amiga for quite some time and the Amiga > Unix port is underway. Some people sent me mail about MAPLE... my applogies for that. As for UNIX... all I can say is, "That's great!" But for someone who really doesn't need UNIX, I can't justify spending $6000 (educational price... somewhere there anyways) for an A3000UX just to run the UNIX port of Lotus.. not to mention the limited resources I have available to buy Lotus 1-2-3 for UNIX based machines. Victor PS I do have to say that from what I've seen so far of Amiga software, things are starting to turn.
