Maybe SoftMaker had a bad experience with their Zaurus port (I don't recall them ever actually going commercial after their beta round ?) and that makes them wary of other platforms...
Pan appears to be not good enough. (yet, hopefully)

Re SoftMaker: even if that were the case, they still have generic Linux versions of all their office apps. Heck, they even continue to support the (as far as Microsoft is concerned) defunct Handheld PC platform. I think we just need to nag them sufficiently.

Seriously: if SoftMaker would be more cooperative, this office suite would be truly amazing for the platform-challenged. The different versions of their programs are exactly the same, not a mean feat in programming land. I've tried TextMaker on Windows, Linux and Windows CE.net 4.1 (Siemens SimPad): all versions are identical.
