It is a bundling of the +spreadsheet SIAG, the word processor PW, and the animation program Egon. -Multiple user interfaces + The motto: "It sucks less!" -In addition to the old Xt interface, Siag is now available -with two alternative user interfaces. One of them is based -on the Curses library and runs on plain text terminals. The -other is based on Gtk, used by the Gnome desktop project. -All versions of Siag have the same fundamental -functionality. +Includes tsiag (the spreadsheet), that works with ncurses library for +X-impaired. + +The nice thing about it (besides the use of Scheme) is that all of the +sexiness of the interface is achieved with Xaw3d -- no monsters like Qt +or GTk.
