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)?
Thank you. I did not know that Star Office had that history. I was
introduced to it when I was using OS/2 (in the pre-Warp days). It still
proves to be the best multi-platform office 'suite'.
