Sun has no interest in OS X, much less OS 9. There is no StarOffice for Mac - at all. I can't find anything online that says there ever was. There are some old stories that Sun was trying it - but those stories are years old. I don't think Macs are on any kind of a priority list for Sun. There are plenty of other things that they are working on before they would get to that. And Mac OS X is supported (somewhat) by OpenOffice.org - but not by StarOffice. This, to me, proves that Sun isn't interested in Mac - all they'd have to do is add their StarOffice stuff, and start selling - but they don't want to do that. Supporting OS 9 - which very few people have anymore - is even lower on the list than OS X. I'd be happy if they got OpenOffice.org to work right on OS X - like NeoOffice did. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
