Xess: difference with NExS

Support knowledgebase (xess_nexs)

Question:

Is there any difference between Xess and NExS?

Answer:

Xess and NExS are not exactly the same. They refer to two different product names that are distributed by different companies.

Xess is, to say something, the original version. Other companies, that have the source code, operate almost the same product with some changes and own support etc.

Quote from http://www.xess.com/faq.html:

General

    1.NExS looks very similar in form and function to another X
      Windows spreadsheet on the market. Are they, in fact,
      exactly the same? 

      XESS Corp. is the owner and author of the NExS
      spreadsheet software. We also license versions of the
      source code to third parties. They are allowed to sell their
      version of the spreadsheet under their own name, and they
      can make modifications to the source to fix bugs and add
      their own new features. The licensee company is completely
      responsible for supporting any customers who purchase their
      version of the spreadsheet. 
S.u.S.E. only operates Xess by the manufacturer AIS (Applied Information Systems, Inc.)
