The new StarOffice 4.0 beta for OpenLinux "sort of" runs on FreeBSD. It is currently hampered by the non-working linux-mode DNS (and I would like to hear from anyone that knows why it's broken, hint, hint all you budding hackertypes out there), spews a million unhappy warnings about colourmaps (at least on non-8-bit displays) and falls over very quickly. In short, don't waste your time (yet) downloading the 50MB monster unless you want to work on helping the StarDivision people debug it. mike ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy
