Ali, re:<Z-D benchmarks use GENERAL PURPOSE APPLICATIONS> Yes, they do, but IMO, the application set for Winstone '98 is seriously flawed. Winstone '97..........Winstone '98 CorelDRAW6...........CorelDRAW7 MS PowerPoint95.....MS PowerPoint97 AdobePagemaker6....CorelQuattroPro7 MS Access 7.............MS Access 97 MS Excel 7.0............MS Excel 97 BorlandParadox7......Lotus123 97 MS Word 7.0............MS Word 97 Lotus WordPro96......Corel Word Perfect 7 Notice the following: 1. The '97 suite used Microsoft(4), Adobe(1), Corel(1), Borland (1) and Lotus(1) products. The '98 suite drops Adobe and Borland. Less diversity of manufacturers. 2. The '98 suite is ridiculously overweighted in spreadsheet -- THREE OF EIGHT APPLICATIONS 3. If anything should have been changed, Netscape Communicator should have been added (intranet based, so its independent of WWW access) 4. The '98 suite is now underweighted in document generation, because Pagemaker was dropped in favor of another spreadsheet. Petz
