StarDivision is announcing StarOffice 5.0 PreFinal Now Available:
"StarOffice 5.0 is now available as a PreFinal
version. If you
order this version now, you will be upgraded as soon as the
Final version of StarOffice 5.0 is available. Both the upgrade
and delivery of the Final version are free of charge."
This announce is in the recently updated Star Division web
site, at:
"The site is still incomplete, but right now you can browse through their information
concerning the imminent release of their next version of StarOffice, version 5.0.
StarOffice 5.0 looks to be a mega-blockbuster release packed to the gills with
features, including:
- Many new desktop publishing features in StarWrite, including the ability to
link frames (for newspaper-styled layouts)
- More Internet features, improved web page design tools
- An improved relational database, with SQL support
- A brand new Personal Information Manager and Scheduler that can link and share
data with a Palm Pilot handheld PDA
- The StarOffice desktop can now link with external programs (you can put an OS/2
icon on their desktop and launch an external program from within StarOffice itself)
The StarDivision site has an interesting section where they compare StarOffice
feature-for-feature with MS Office 97. It gives you a good idea of the breadth and
scope of this product.
An early version of the product will be available soon, with the final version
of the product will be available in the middle of September."
