I downloaded the demo version of Star Office 3.1 that expires after
30 days from the Star Division's homepage. The product looks very
professional (made in Germany?). It runs reasonable fast on my 
i486DX-100 laptop. Can't wait to see 4.0.

Unfortunately there is no high quality vector based draw program
for OS/2. I am using Micrografx Designer for Windows which I like
very much and which runs smoothly under OS/2 Warp. Does anyone have
the OS/2 version of Designer?
