Hello James, here's some history:
AFAIK StarDivision's first implementation of StarWriter was done on CPM, later on DOS in the mid/late 80s. The first implementations of StarWriter on DOS had it's own graphical representation based on the text display of DOS and it had a font rasterizer. The first implementation on a graphical environment was on Windows 16 bit. This was before the development of StarOffice started. In late 1994/beginning of 1995 StarOffice was developed, based on StarView C++ class library for Windows 16 bit, Windows 32 bit, Windows (RISC), OS/2, Linux (x86), MacOS (PPC), SCO Open Server 5, AIX, HP UX, IRIX, Solaris Sparc, Solaris (x86), Solaris (PPC), OS/390, NetBSD and maybe some more operating systems. Some of these ports were never released as a product. Starting with StarOffice 4 PP3 the GUI class library changed from StarView to VCL, a class library which is still part of current development at Sun.
Kind regards, Joost
Just to get my facts straight, what was the original target platform for StarOffice (not OpenOffice)?
