    Good Points: Older used hardware as well as the most recent x86 boxes
    can be used in the same enviroment the suite is network aware
    out of the box it can be ported to a Linux, Netware,Dos,OS2,
    and windows based box


    Bad Points: Not all documents or spreadsheets can be imported in and out
    of the suite but you can convert most documents or text to a common
    form .rtf or plain .txt



    General comments: More commanality in a smaller package than any other office
    School or home suite

    Purchasers can produce from templates, posters newsletter
    buisness letters basic forms and complicated multipage documents
    without the neddd for specialized courses that are required in
    so many other Suites.

    New Deal can revive all your old hardware run in under 60
    MB of drive space and still function on your latest system
    that brand new Althion or Pentium 3.

    Your old note book the one that isn't usable (no space for
    win98 and any word processor)anymore gets a brand new life,
    that means you use that copy of MS or PC or DR or any other
    Dos that you already own and new deal to have a fully
    functional laptop that still is faster than a palm top.

    Even that 286 laptop you paid a fortune for can run without
    changeing your drive or making other modifaction

    Your 486 runs like a pentium class box and old pentiums
    work like this years latest hotbox

    And it doesn't cost $1000 for an office suite, desktop
    publishing suite & lite cad program

    Trial versions are downloadable and quanity copies
    can be ordered with reduced pricing or site licence

    A school can take advantage of this suite to put a computer
    on every desk both in class and in the students home.

    The SDK (seperate purchase) with the correct compiler(s) can
    be used to teach the average student how to program
    fairly quickly.

    NewDeal is a very small and fast office suite. It works great if you need basic functionality, but not for advanced use. It has probems importing large files and viewing large websites due to real mode limitations. The filters are also very limited (no Word 6.0, or 95 filters, no Excel filters for 95/97, and so on). The web browser is very limited and unstable, although I hear that it will be much better in NewDeal 2000, due out this summer.

    New Deal Office 98, Release 3.2a is the latest version of this software. It is a combination of an operating system (GEOS) and a productivity suite that also incluses many other features and Internet access capability.
    This revision incorporates the features of the prior version (release 3) with the Internet Kit. This sofware will run on equipment which has been left behind by the dominant software makers.
    Although some may need features that this package doesn't support (such as native scan ...

    NewDeal is a great solution for computers you thought could only be sent to a landfill. I use the software on donated computers and send them out into the homes of my disadvantaged students. It has

    NewDeal Office Suite and NewDeal School Suite provide new,
    quality office applications for older computers. Rather
    than discard a computer just because the latest version
    of Microsoft OS or applications will not work in it, NewDeal has quality applications that are comparable to
    Corel (WordPerfect), Lotus or Microsoft: there is NewWrite
    (word processor), NewCalc (spreadsheet), and NewFile (database), plus many more applications, including games.
    Totally Y2K compliant, NewDeal is a blessing at o ...

    New Deal Office, formerly Geoworks Ensemble is my favourite OS+applications sine 1991. It has not evolved much during the first 7 years, but it is now almost complete with internet applications, basic-like programming language, etc.

    New Deal Office is the closest thing to universally accessible software around. Although not entirely accurate, NDO is a MS Works-like integrated application. It is a graphical DOS-based application and environment that is small enough to run on any PC capable of running DOS.
    It is easy enough to use for children to do their schoolwork, yet powerful enough for some home office, personal office chores.

    There is an optional software pak (called WebSuite) that offers a web browser, html editor ...

    New Deal Office can run on a 286 or higher CPU. Has it own suite of applications. Runs with Windows 95/98. At a great price.
