    Hi Papiosaur

    I'm still using Pagestream, but this is very promising...
    Perhaps I will step over to Stylos sometime.

    regards, Tom

    Thanks Tom for your feedback :-)

    Personally I don't see Stylos as a competitor to PageStream, the latter is a very complete desktop publishing software and Stylos is a simple word processor.

    I don't know if it's possible; it would require two programmers to collaborate, but what would you say to a duo like this: I embed an Excel table in Stylos. I click on the table, and CellBasics opens. I edit the table in CellBasics and close it, and the changes appear in Stylos.

    Oh, that's a big deal. It would be worth many coffees ;-)

    Does Stylos also include a spell checker and grammar checker?

    Why don't just edit the table directly in Stylos? :-)

    Of course, i'm not closed to do a collaboration with jaca to do a communication system between Stylos and Cellbasics for new features like mail merge and add possibility to import a table from Cellbasics to Stylos for example but it will be after Stylos 1.0 and if jaca is ok.

    It will be a good alternative to Microsoft Office and LibreOffice.

    This idea is, of course, a proposed development direction, not a current feature. I've had the pleasure of exploring both programs and see great potential in them for restoring the system, which draws on its Amiga heritage, and, combined with the upcoming new hardware, for restoring the computer's role as a home computer, not just a gaming machine. Exactly as you say, the CellBasic/Stylos duo would be a real alternative to Office suites in a version suitable for home needs. More is not needed. Historically, the Amiga was never an office computer, but its successor should support modern standards for a computer worthy of the name "home computer". Thanks to your work and Jacek's, we're very close to that goal. It would be great if MorphOS users noticed and appreciated this, but knowing your approach, it will happen regardless. Howgh! ;-)

    That would be great, but I guess papiosaur didn't see your question ;-)
    Maybe it would be possible to integrate Stylos with some ready-made open-source dictionaries?

    MorphOS comes with a spellchecking library and dictionaries. They are already used by multiple applications.

    @Thorsten @Tomasz : Yes, like Geit said, i will use the spellchecker.library support integrated in MorphOS but after version 1.0. At the moment I must fix many small problems inherent in a basic word processor. Others features will be added after like the spell checker and grammar checker.

    @DanicaTalos: Thanks, i hope it will be better :-)

    Thanks to registered users and sponsors for their support and for their feedback to help me fix bugs.

    Stylos 0.93 arrives soon with many fixes.

    My iBook is packed up awaiting a move to a new city/state. Please post screenshots so I can continue to live vicariously until I can once again play on with MorphOS and Stylos!

    Great news! I see that export to PDF is now available! Thanks to this, you can print your work results in Stylos :) Also, I see search and replace. Good work, and we're waiting for more. Do you ever sleep? ;-)

    Thank you @Papiosaur.

    I have to say I'm very impressed how fast this was developed. It is very usable now in just a few months.

    I just installed .99rc2 (non demo version ;) ) this morning, and yesterday .98 (you are fast!).

    This was really the last piece we really needed to complete the suite of modern and effective products you can daily drive and importantly is very mature and constantly updated:

    Internet Browser: Wayfarer - Yes
    Email Client: Iris - Yes
    Word Processor: Sylos - Yes.
    PIM/CRM: PolyOrga - Yes
    Spreadsheet: CellBasics - Beta/2 more weeks/RSN :) - It is very functional today and is constantly improving nicely. Given the same author also made Wayfarer and Iris, I think we know what to expect. :)
    DTP: PageStream MorphOS - Yes.


    I encourage everyone who wants a great word processor to donate to Papiosaur as I have- See readme file.

    Thanks again Papiosaur!

    I just used Stylos 0.99r2 for something a bit more serious – writing a short audit committee report. And you know what? It's perfect! I'm sure Yannick will add some more interesting features to his program, but it's already a really good word processor. I checked compatibility with NeoOffice in RTF mode and it's fine. It turns out I can use these programs interchangeably even without the docx implementation.

    Thanks @Papiosaur.

    But now please resume your work on the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) driver for MorphOS.
    Only then your word processor is s "complete success" :)

    @Primax, i think you speak about RemoteScan project for network scanner, i never work on a IPP driver (printer) on MorphOS.
