There is nothing frivolous or zany about this suite, which is a
boon or a shame depending upon your viewpoint.
Registration is free and online help is at hand if you do not find
the answer to your query in the extensive Help files included with the program. The 602Pro 2000 office suite includes:
|
602 Text: A comprehensive and easily-used word-processing program that includes 602 Magic Text - a server for
object-oriented graphic text editing, described as an integrated program used to 'work magic with text'; |
|
|
602 Photo: an image editor (as opposed to a graphic editor) seen here displaying
an image in the dimensions requested, prior to saving it; |
|
|
602 Tab: A worksheet/spreadsheet creation program incorporating 602 Magic Graph: a server designed to convert data from 602Tab into 2D or 3D graphs; |
The suite also includes 602 SendFax: a LAN suite.
The comprehensive Help manuals provide all the assistance one could hope for, even if some of the titles are a little unusual -
'Appendixies', for example - and you can choose between UK and USA English.
The storage suite into which you find yourself entering when saving on 602Pro is excellent and makes a great deal more sense than many competing file/folder directory systems.
The program inserts a folder into My Documents, called 602 Documents, wherein all your efforts produced on 602Pro can be found when using Explorer. The folder comes into its own
when accessed from any of the 602Pro applications.
This is certainly amongst the better office suites we have tried out, whether for professional
or domestic purposes but there are
homelier and simpler programs in this collection for home use, such as Easy Office and
Atlantis Nova, so it rather depends whether you want to feel as though you are
at work or at home when you sit at your monitor...
We have actually experimented with having both Easy Office and 620 Pro installed at the same time on Windows 98 S.E.,
along with our usual office suite (payware) and it was fine as long as we ensured the two programs
were not fighting over the right to perform the same automatic functions.
602Pro PC is a very well-mannered program and politely enquires with which tasks you wish it to associate itself as the installation proceeds at a gentle and dignified pace.
If you are trying to decide whether to install this suite, or not, you may like
to read about Easy Office
and Atlantis Nova and you will soon get a feel for which is better suited to your purpose and temperament. We are enthusiastic about
all three in different ways, hence their inclusion in this collection. Different strokes for different
folks...
If it doesn't bring a smile to the user's face, for one reason or another, it isn't fun freeware...
some people have a lot of fun being serious...
