Star Office 5.0 is fantastic!! I have it running on Solaris 2.5.1 , FreeBSD and even Windows 95. (It does work, and is easy to intall.) It has every feature you could possibly want & more. The interface is immediately intuitive, and has very similar look & feel to a certain Office suite put out by your "favourite" multi-national software giant. This product will take the Unix world (and hopefully the rest as well) by storm, I am sure. OK, it's big, but then the features are damn impressive. Dont take my word for it - try it out for yourself, it's free for personal use! Ross. >> >> All I've been able to find are StarOffice 5.0 and (eventually) Corel >> WordPerfect 8.0 -- both for Linux.
