Re: Sun's StarOffice 5.1, again

With their ever-stricter licensing agreements and their ever-less
competitive position in the market, it is likely to be some time before
the source is released under a usable license.

   Do we know if this cookbook works against 2.2-STABLE?
  
  We know it definitely will not.  You _may_ have some luck running 
  WordPerfect on 2.2, since it is a much kinder app, but not StarOffice.
  
 I've got WordPerfect 8 running now.
 
 I bought two copies (one for the office, one for home) of the StarOffice
 CD-ROM from the Sun Web site ($9.95 each) and loaded the Windows version
 on a Win98 machine at home.  I loaded the Solaris SPARC version on an
 E450 at work.  I'm just shooting for universal deployment.  I suppose
 the POSIX kernel stuff would kill me on my 2.2 machines.
 
 Anybody sign up for doing the Native FreeBSD port whenever Sun gets
 around to releasing the sources?

It doesn't.  I use StarOffice on RH6 at work and I have a stack of
mostly macro-laden Word documents that lock it up.

Sadly, I'm not much of a hacker, but if you need someone to test,
I'm your man! :-)  I use StarOffice daily on RH6 and am fairly
familiar with it now.
