Has anyone out there had experience with any "office automation" systems
running on Unix machines? I'm thinking along the lines of something like
DEC's All-In-One, perhaps a bit less ostentatious. The two main facilities
that are being sought are email (piece o' cake) and some sort of calendar/
scheduling system, not unlike what I'm told appears in WordPerfect's
office automation system.
I suspect we could write our own "office automation system" without too
much trouble, using existing lower-level facilities, but I'd be interested
in the opinions and experiences of others in this area. Again, we'd be wanting
to run this on a Unix machine. The machine we have in mind is running 4.3 BSD,
though we could also run this on a medium-size Sun that's here. We're
currently awaiting a call back from Sun on this (we're also waiting to hear
back from DEC on an Ultrix version of All-In-One, though we don't currently
have a large Ultrix machine we'd be running it on.) Be nice if we found a
decent PD one though...
Please respond via email and I will summarize to the net.
Thanks in advance,
