What roots? After SunOS 4.1.x they have been claiming they are a sysvish
UNIX. The Solaris version won't work on Unixware, though.
I understand the Linux version works, but I am awaiting for them to
release the source code. I am currently using the OS/2 and the winblows
ports. Staroffice is not 100% compatible with M$-Office, I had to
install the MS-Wordviewer, but it's pretty good.
