[aklug] Yet another lightweight app(s)

Greg posted an excellent app for viewing PDF's-excellent in that it doesn't
bog your system down and get's right to the point. Another one that's out
there that will complement the toolbox for business owner/student/and the
like is Teapot <http://www.syntax-k.de/projekte/teapot/>. A very excellent
ncurses spreadhseet (or FLTK based GUI for those inclined.)
To quote the PDF'd user guide:

For ages, spread sheet programs have been closely associated with financial

It can be downloaded as an RPM, DEB, Tar, or <ahem> EXE. Playing with a cash
flow spreadsheet now. It is simple enough to get the job done stat! Really
liking this journey into console/terminal apps (terminal now) as I am making
things happen without all the distraction.

BTW another app that would compliment Teapot is antiword. Console/terminal
based and it allows me to read/edit Word 2007 faster than I can type this
sentence. :)
