They're $9.95 (plus S&H) for a CD with binaries for OS/2, Windows, Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86 and Linux. There's also a boatload of fonts, both Adobe and TrueType. I bought two copies (one for office, one for home) from the web site (www.sun.com/staroffice). They arrived in about 5 days and cost a total of $28. Coming soon for $39.95 is a CD with same binaries, but with "extensive documentation" as well. -crl -- Chad R.
