[CS-FSLUG] Ontario offers Sun's StarOffice to students

[N. Thompson]

Thats certainly interesting, I wonder if Saskatchewan might follow along 
eventually :-) .

I've just noticed one potential problem with this, OpenOffice.org 
doesn't seem to have filters for Staroffice except up to version 5.x. 
Unless Staroffice also uses the OO.o format I don't think the two are 
compatible with each other.
