Star office can use dia's exported EPS files.  Because dia does not write
a preview image to the EPS files, you will not see the diagram when
editing the star office document.  However, when you print it, the diagram
should display correctly.

If you have gnome installed on your system when compiling dia, dia-0.84
will compile the PNG export filter that can be used to put diagrams on the
web.  This is a better solution until browsers start supporting vector
image formats.  You can scale the image by setting a scaling factor in
the page setup dialog.  If you don't want to install gnome, you can
probably use the convert utility from ImageMagick to convert eps files to
some other format.
