I have a StarOffice 5.2 binary for Solaris 2.5.1 laying around on one of our AW's. Does anyone want me to post it on Cassandra? It's about 100 MB. You also need the "Shared Library Patch for C++" for Solaris 2.5.1, which you can get from Sun. I've loaded StarOffice 5.2 here, and it seems to work fine.

I started looking at how to look at documents directly from the PC network on a UNIX box over a year ago and thought that this free application from Sun would do the trick. This way when records change on the Enterprise network side you didn't have to update it on the I/A side. I stopped looking when I moved to another project and I had trouble finding something for Solaris 2.5.1. http://supportforum.sun.com/staroffice/index.html Diane Harris Automation Services, Inc P.O.

I have a tool called Viewer that shows the text file and adds print buttons to I/A Series printers. If the documents are on a web server, you can load NetScape and view them with that. If the documents are .pdf, you can load Acrobat and view them with that. (All of the above assume a DM script that launches the required executable.) Solaris 8 boxes All of the above, plus StarOffice which allows you to read/write MS Office compatible files. Not quite free, but cheap. MS Windows NT V4.0 SP5 and MS Windows XP Boxes Anything that runs on the specified OS. I am sure that there must be other ways, but these are the first that I can think of.

Their simple request is to be able to punch a button on a display and have the SOP appear on the screen.
