There has been yet-another interesting milestone in Haiku’s development this past week: Haikuware admin “karlvd” has reported success running Gobe Productive in recent Haiku builds (also reported by OSNews). From the post:

I’ve played with GoBE Productive for half an hour now, and it seems remarkedly stable. Gobe Productive is a unique piece of software, and one of the darlings of BeOS software. This will surely fill a much needed gap in the office suite department, despite the software’s age! It’s also testament to the vision of enabling backwards compatibility to BeOS application, and how good Haiku is at it.

A minior bugfix was reportedly necessary to get Productive running – and, as a side-effect, another venerable BeOS app now works in Haiku: the FTP client NetPenguin.

The demo of Productive has also been added to Karl’s “Weekly Super Pack” – a regularly-updated VMware image containing the latest Haiku build and a selection of compatible apps.
