I think that "49" designates the german language, and "01" designates
the english language. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. So you'd
want:
ftp://ftp.stardivision.com/pub/so4/linux/sp3/01/
StarOffice 5.0 is due out soon (press reports say September, but you
know how that goes). Press report says 5.0 will support office 97 file
formats, which might be important if you're exchanging docs from that
suite. (4.0 chokes on office 97 file formats).
It's a long download by modem, so make sure your ftp client has
"resume" capability.
