Have noticed this on the web and it claims to run under Linux. Can't get CD in
England at present.<br><br>Does anyone know of Star Office and does it

Yes there is a linux version of StarOffice. Like most software it has its
supporters and detractors. I use it (in both windows and linux) and it works
great for me. I handles M$ Office files quite well. It is very large
(detractors would say "bloatware") and takes a while to launch, but it suits
my needs just fine. For a free Office Suite, I think it's very well done.
Applixware (costs$$$) is another suite that I've seen suggested on these
boards, but I've never used it. I think KOffice might be released in a few
months with KDE 2.0 It has gotten a bit of good prerelease press.
HTH,
Mike
