Just to add to the discussion here - has anyone had any experience using Star Office on FreeBSD? I have heard some rumours that it is not very reliable. I would like to try it, but I'm a little hesitant after listening to some of the buzz out there. Also, I have to keep disk space in mind - anyone know how much room Star Office needs? (Please forgive me if this borders on -questions; I'm just trying to get some opinions, not hard answers) On 22-Aug-98 kevink@mindless.com wrote: > Have you tried Star Office? there is a port for it in /usr/ports/editors > I'm not totally sure if it handles wordperfect docs, but I think it does. > Does anyone else know? > > At 11:21 AM 8/22/98 -0600, you wrote: >>Marty Poulin wrote: >> >>Duke here.
