Maybe you can not get them at all now. It will hardly run on an older PC, I have a 133MHz Pentium with 48Mb RAM and a lot of patience for Staroffice to start. Do not try to download it without using Wget or similar, the filesizes are huge. I think it is worth it, you get a lot more than in Microsoft Office (database is not included in the standardedition of MS-Office). The great disadvantage of Staroffice is that it can not use other codepages than the Western European properly. Per B.
