Re: [libreoffice-users] Kexi

Hi :)
You are welcome.  I just stumbled on that info just before reading your post.  I 
had heard of Kexi and Calligra before and had a quick hunt around their site and 
wikipedia but just before your post i'd had to look a bit deeper.  Spooky 
timing! :)
Regards from
Tom :)
