Perry >mperry@basin.com 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?
