Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------- StarDivision has updated their International website. http://www.stardivision.com 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
