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.
