StarOffice != OpenOffice Indeed, since StarOffice is a "commercial product" and is "not licensed under the GPL license family or SISSL", we must conclude that there have been significant parts of StarOffice that were left out when the OpenOffice project was founded. Unfortunately, nowhere on the OpenOffice web site or on the StarOffice web site will anyone answer the direct question of precisely what was left out and what was included, so that other people can make up their own mind as to just how feature complete OpenOffice will be if they should ever happen to release a build that will actually do something on some OS. -- Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> /* efdtt.c Author: Charles M.
