That means that you create a link from a staroffice/work subdirectory to
a subdirectory in your /home/user directory and you go there everytime
that you want to access your files, that will work simply without moving
files out of the staroffice/work directory which would be a totally
fubar way to keep your files. If you install staroffice in say
/usr/local/ and let many people have access to it, I do not know yet how
staroffice would handle the file access permissions. However that was
not the main point. Staroffice is not a GPL product and you made certain
agreements when you installed it. If you do not want to keep that
agreement that is personal to you and not this list.
