Hi Will

Replying to a message of Will Honea to paul marwick:

 pm>> The CD contains StarOffice for Windows, OS/2, Linux, Solaris and

Ah, I hadn't realised that the full set of filters was now included. While its 
lack didn't worry me too much, its a nice addtions.

Its certainly a memory hog. Though I can't say I've had too many stability
problems with it. Generally I've been quite happy with it - it does most of
the things I need, though I find some of its layout fairly strange...

Sun will have to update the installaiton documentation, since it still talks
about the registration via the Internet.

regards, paul
