Just a little note for the interested: SUN has released the StarOffice
source code under the GNU Public License, so an Amiga version of this
MS-Office replacement is one step closer.

Yes, I have heard about it. It will probably require a horrible lot of work to port it. What does it use for its graphics? X?

It is a suite of office software. As far as I know it contains both word
processor, spread sheet and some presentation software like FrontPage. I
don't know about a database. It should compare quite well with a similar
suite of office software from Microsoft.
