After publishing StarOffice 5.2, which is not available for OS/2 
anymore, Sun Microsystems has made an End-of-life Announcement for 
StarOffice 5.1 which also applies to StarOffice 5.1 for OS/2.

This is what it says (the page can be found at Sun's web site under 
http://www2.sun.com:80/products/staroffice/5.2/eol.html):

  "As of June 20, 2000, Sun announces the end of life of StarOffice
  5.1 software. StarOffice 5.1 software will made available for 90
  days ending September 20, 2000. Customers have the opportunity to
  either download StarOffice 5.1 software or order the product kit
  (available until stock has been depleted). 

  June 20, 2000 -- Sun support offering will be available for three
  full years. Customers can be assured of getting high quality
  technical support until June 20, 2003.

  June 21, 2003 to June 20, 2005 -- Support for StarOffice 5.1
  software goes on a time and material basis only, after which
  support will no longer be available from Sun."

So, if there's anyone who has no copy of StarOffice 5.1 for OS/2 yet,
you can order the media as long as there are still some available, or
download it until September 20.
