The thing is I already *own* copies of the dos and win-95 versions of wp
6 and 7. I've tried the staticly linked wp6 for SCO...it's not too
great. StarOffice really isn't anything to write home about; it's a nice
effort though. I really don't want to fork over more money for less
functionality (i.e. no quattro pro, etc. available for Unix)
