Hubbard" , freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: StarOffice 5 on a SMP system..... or Applixware... Cc: Bryan Bursey , Ruben van Staveren , freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Probably shouldent have phrased it like that...sorry. I downloaded StarOffice at www.sun.com. I guess what I would like to ask is this then, 1) How well does ApplixWare handle MS Office97 files? 2) Do you know of any plans for Applixware to support Office 2000 formats? 3) How well does Applix share files with StarOffice (I aleady have a few in StarOffice format, although I suppose I could change them to .txt format and use them that way) 4) And this is the biggie.....Does the Applix lisence allow for multiple copies of the software (For example on a laptop and Desktop) with one purchase or would I have to purchase two copies... Regarding question #2, sibce The Applixware we have is a port from the Linux one, does this mean we will have to wait untill Applix gets Office 2000 support 1st or will we be able to work on the source ourself?
