My next #retrocomputing project: trying to revive StarOffice 3.1 and get it working on a modern Linux system.
While playing around with #CDE and old remote X servers, I got curious about the sort of apps that people would have used on a mid-late 90s office UNIX machine. I know that there was a UNIX port of #WordPerfect, but AFAIK it was text-based, derived from the DOS version. The whole point of this particular flight of fancy is to experiment with *graphical* apps.
