The lack of 100% compatibility with Microsoft Office is not only a big problem for eCS, but actually for each operating system that tries to be an alternative for Windows.
However the situation isn't that dramatical for OS/2 and eComStation as you might think. There are for instance different office suites available for eComStation which can compete on functionality with Microsoft Office and which offer perfect data compatibility.
Here is the overview of Innotek OpenOffice 1.1.x for eComStation (russian text).

Missing the forthcoming summer? Going to loaf on a beach.. and inlay words with stones visible from the space? Try the "Sunny pills".. Swap adjacent pills to clear room for loafers and make sets of 3, 4 or 5. Combinations of pills cause appearance of stone with dynamite or atomic cobble-stone destroying all pills of the same color. Be in a hurry! The summer may end.

IMAPD for Weasel Pro has just been updated to version 0.06. You can get it from this ftp.
This is an add-on for the Weasel Pro mail server that allows it to act as an IMAP4 server in addition to its existing POP3 and SMTP services. Although it is ultimately intended only for registered Weasel Pro users, the present version is a timed demo that will work without registration with any recent version of Weasel. It will time out at the end of April 2005.
Although this is still technically a test version, it seems to be behaving well under load, and it implements almost all features of IMAP4. I wouldn't yet recommend it for full-scale commercial use, because it hasn't had enough testing, but it should be satisfactory for noncritical applications.
