Hi Rino RIGHT. My coauthor and I have had pure hell because the latest Mac MS Word doesn't translate Word from Office 97 .doc files with tracked changes correctly. With MS it is not just non-interoperabilty with other operating systems, they don't even work well with themselves. --David On Sun

Re: Staroffice on Debian Potato

I have been using Star office 5.2 inside potato and have had no difficulty with Word95, word97 or word2000 files. That is, I can either read foreign files or write my own and have them read by M$. Even forms, finally, work reasonably well. You do have to turn off the design mode. Finally, Powerpoin

Re: staroffice .bin

You mean to tell me (and the debian-user list) that the .bin file for Star -office that I downloaded is executable? What does it _do_ when you execute it? I'm new to Star-office, don't know how to install it even. And reluctant to run an executable with no what-it-does file . . . - Andrew P
