I know StarOffice was supported on Windows and Solaris. I think they had a Linux version as well. Not too sure about OSX.

are you thinking what I'm thinking?
They tell it's a StarOffice, but I'm almost ready to bet it's OpenOffice under the hood....

I tried StarOffice, lo! many years ago, on FreeBSD, it worked okay*. Then they bodged it into a giant monster, opensourced the lot and called it openorfice. I'm pretty sure there's a raught of staroffice names still in the OO sources. I'm [cmd=""]tar -jxvf[/cmd]-ing the lot right now.


*it didn't work very well, but MSorfice under wine worked less well.


Below resides the output of [cmd=""]find /home/tmpbuild -type f -iname "*staroff*"[/cmd] in case you were wondering.

You do realise that StarOffice is the original source of the OpenOffice.org code, and that all subsequent releases of StarOffice were based on OpenOffice.org code, right?

Thus, there's nothing untoward going on here, other than renaming StarOffice to Oracle Open Office.

StarOffice is to OpenOffice.org what RHEL is to Fedora.
