    And a big download.  The odd thing is Caldera has it on there CD.
 Unless anyone else is already looking in to it, I will add that to my

I can look into the Star Office Idea. I think it is a great program except
Star Office is an extreamly large program and a resource hog as well.  When I
had RH 5.0 installed on my laptop, I downloaded SO 5 and installed it.  And
let me tell you...it kinda got rather annoying waiting about 2 minutes for the
thing to start on a P120 16 meg ram.  So unless you have a rather fast
computer, Star Office is a waste.
