Star office 5.1 could run on pretty limited hardware, but honestly it's a stretch to describe it as feature complete. That was the bad old days when I had to boot into windows to get most non coding work done.
- frik 11y agoHave a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarOffice Read the section "Components" incl "Older discontinued components" and "Proprietary components"! StarOffice up to v5.2 was amazingly feature full and feature complete. Newer StarOffice and OpenOffice/LibreOffice forks lost some functionality and contain incremental improvements. StarOffice 5.1 come even with its own Windows shell for Win95, that showed the Windows desktop icons, etc. (similar to what IE4 did with Win95, it came with a free shell upgrade, then it looked like Win98)
