Star Division is in the process of releasing ver 5 and also establishing a US office in CA. I sent email to the FreeBSD guy that's responsible for the StarOffice port and also to their US division, but haven't gotten a reply back yet. Thanks to the backstabbing Caldera people, there may only be a Linux port. I'd like to see if we can mount a campaign. I do not know if the filter support in ver 5 will convert Excel, Word, and Powerpoint files. You might like to go to http://www.stardivision.com and see what you think.
