Working with StarOffice 5.0 Personal Edition on OS/2 Warp 4.0 I recently discovered that StarOffice is really an intelligent program! To prevent faillures originated by high temperature in the environment that was detected by my ASUS Smart motherboard, I mounted my principal HTML IDE on only one HDD but it's not a giant HDD.
Last week I needed more area for store work files and database an I decided add other HDD as second master to increase the environment. In the first master where I mounted my IDE I'm running Warp 4.0 on <C> primary partition and running StarOffice in <D> logical drive on the extended partition. In another logical drive called <E> I stored my database and work files.
Just I add the second HDD obviously the drive letters are changed and the <D> partition now is the first primary partition of the second master. Consequently the logical drive where StarOffice resides is now called <E>.
I clicked the StarOffice folder on my Work Place Shell for to change the path in the pop-menu's properties option and I see that this action is simple not required!!! Yeahhh, man, the StarOffice by itself was changed the path and created two new iconed objects into his folder: <StarOffice 5.0> and <Setup>. The old objects with the old path pointing to drive D has conserved into the folder, but have not more icons!
I clicked the new StarOffice object and the suite runned fine. In the day after I concluded all tasks has been required and I decided disconnect the second HDD because the high temperature was rides again!
Just I returned to my old disk configuration I see quickly the StarOffice folder and only two iconed objects are there, pointing to the correct path, drive D.
Talking with other StarOffice users (I'm registered user for all platforms and was joinned several mailing lists) these guys saids that have not perceived this SO hability ahead my report. Some guys has pleaded that really StarOffice is an super-intelligent program, but "consumes much memory RAM". I disaccord. I monitored everyday my environement using PM Patrol, Control Center of Object Desktop Professional (my default) and Chris Graham's Task Manager (the most acurattelly tool for this measures). Because this fact I decided add to this report the screenshot of the Chris Graham's Task Manager monitoring the StarOffice startup. You can see that no excessive RAM is consumed!
