Meeting February 23 - Comparing Star Office and WordPerfect

[listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

KLUG is pleased to announce that these questions and more will be 
addressed and discussed as Dan Downs offers a real world comparison of Star Office 
5.0 and WordPerfect 8 at the February 23rd  meeting. If you have 
been looking for an office application for Linux, this is an excellent 
opportunity to research the possibilities. 

Support for Linux in the form of office applications received a real boost in 
1998 with the release of Star Office, followed by Corel Corporation's announcement 
and release of WordPerfect 8 for Linux. Star Office is an integrated all-in-one 
software, while the other is widely regarded as the most powerful word processor 
on any platform. 

Why would a Linux user choose one over the other? 
What are the major differences between the two packages? 
Will this be even more compelling to businesses evaluating Linux? 

Dan has experience with many programming languages, and has been working 
as a computer technician for two years. He is currently enrolled at Western 
Michigan University in pursuit of a degree in Computer Science Theory 
and Analysis, with a possible double major of Computer Engineering. When 
he's not figuring out something new to do with Linux, Dan keeps busy with 
Alpha Sigma Phi and even finds time to study occasionally.
