To incorporate corrections and editorial changes to the proof sheets, RVT
designed a graphical spreadsheet interface for SJP. This also helped to save

Recent reports in India's enterprise-based Network Magazine also noted the

GNU/Linux in their "mission critical space".
Asian Paints, India's largest paint company, has implemented SAP modules on
GNU/Linux. IDBI Bank, with over 91 branches, runs its core banking
applications on it. Rolta India runs its database containing thousands of
users, while ICICI Infotech runs its knowledge management applications, and
C-DAC runs e-governance solutions on GNU/Linux.
