The Star Office 6.0beta has now been removed from the Sun web site. So you can no longer get it. It will be replaced with an official 6.0 production release before long.
You can still get the 5.2 version from Sun, but it is so inferior compared to 6.0 that I would suggest you get OpenOffice instead. Star Office 6.0 is based on OpenOffice, and you can expect OpenOffice to always be a little bit in advance of StarOffice, but it may not have some addons like extensive clipart libraries . You can get open office from www.openoffice.org the binary file to download is here http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/latest_build/latest_build.html#binaries HTH derek On Wednesday 02 January 2002 23:51, Dennis Myers wrote: > On Wednesday 02 January 2002 19:27, you wrote: > > I just installed Mandrake 8.1, which I downloaded (3 cds).
