Product: Documentation Reporter: Graeme Cross <gjc>

Description Graeme Cross 2001-12-17 03:50:01 UTC 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/commercial.html has a dead link (Section 5.1, "You can purchase ApplixWare for FreeBSD here.")
The dead link points to
http://www.wccdrom.com/titles/freebsd/applix.phtml

Fix: 

I can't find an alternative URL at FreeBSDMall (the replacement for www.wccdrom.com?)
I would suggest simply deleting the line in question.

Well it seems that ApplixWare is now called AnyWare, but there is an
ApplixWare Office 4.42 available from here :
http://www.vistasource.com/products/axware/platforms

If anyone knows for sure that this is the same thing, then here's a
patch.

VistaSource makes the FreeBSD port of Applixware, but FreeBSD Mall distributes 
it with their Desktop Edition package.  I've updated the sentence, removing the 
broken link.  Thanks!
