StarOffice was not from MS. It was originally written for CP/M on the Z80, by a guy who started StarDivision. I first came across it on OS/2. StarDivision was bought by Sun, who kept StarOffice as the commercial version of the open source OpenOffice. LibreOffice was created from OpenOffice, when Oracle, after buying Sun, couldn't decide what to do with StarOffice and OpenOffice. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
