StarOffice 3.1 for OS/2 International Beta II available.
Star Division is proud to announce the beta II of StarOffice 3.1 for OS/2
International for the languages English, French, Dutch, Italian and Spanish.
StarOffice 3.1 is the revolutionary suite of office productivity applications
containing StarWriter 3.1 (word processor), StarCalc 3.1 (spreadsheet),
StarDraw 3.1 (graphics and presentation package), StarImage 3.1 (image
manipulation) StarChart 3.1 (bar-, pie- and other charts). It offers much more
features than traditional office productivity suites.
StarOffice contains a complete WYSIWYG HTML editor that allows drag&drop
between the bookmark window and the edit window and offers upload capabilities
for the pages via HTTP and FTP. It supports HTML 3.0, Netscape Plug Ins and
other leading-edge technologies.
StarOffice makes heavy use of common code in shared libraries (60 percent),
therefore using few resources compared to its functionality and offering high
consistence across the applications.
StarOffice is based on the platform independent Solar Technology and is being
developed for OS/2, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.x, Apple Macintosh, Unix
and Linux. All document formats are compatible. No filters are required.
