Hmmm. We use StarOffice in our University which seems to be free, It
requires the Linux emulation though since our version is Linux - I don't
know if there is a FreeBSD port out there...?
Similarity to M$ Word is stunning! It will even read and save in Word 6.0
format, the GUI for the whole package is IMHO a pure rip-off of M$
Office. Used along with fvwm95 it confuses lusers sooo much.... :)
