StarOffice 5.2 has

-Adabas Database
-Additional Fonts
-Expanded Dictionary/Spellchecking

Fwiw;

I've been test-running the Staroffice 2.0 beta which includes a database
for the past couple of months. Very stable, very robust. Although I
wouldn't use it on production-level stuff (it's beta), when it does go
final, I'm sure it'll be the MS Office-slayer.

It doesn't run on win2003 here, and the total proformance on linux is
so slow that I *cannot* even use it to read a .ppt! (it takes 10+
seconds to redraw!).

OOo 2 is fine here though, and the table alignment problem has been
solved. But I hate the MSI installer :(
