It's a single program; there aren't packages. And it has it's own yuckky windows-like "desktop", and is confined to a single windows. Overall, they've done a pretty good job of mimicking the lousy msoft interface :) > 2) If you can just install what you need, can you also download just what you > need? Or do you have to get the full 70M and extract the good stuff? If you can figure out how to chop up the executables :) > 3) Does it really require 32M of RAM? No. 64M is barely adequate :) >What to you think about running it on my home box, a 486/75 with 24M of RAM? it takes the better part of a minute (i think' it's long enough that i find something else to do) just to load on a K6/200 w. 64M. It's not a really bad slug after you load, just a mild one. > 4) Does Star Writer handle Word Perfect (6.0a) documents? Supposedly. But so does WP8 :) The only use I have for starwriter now is that I haven't customized the styles for my resume in lyx yet. Once I do, i won't have much use for staroffice. --
