Re: Neo/J release

Hello James,

here's some history:

AFAIK StarDivision's first implementation of StarWriter was done on CPM, 
later on DOS in the mid/late 80s. The first implementations of 
StarWriter on DOS had it's own graphical representation based on the 
text display of DOS and it had a font rasterizer. The first 
implementation on a graphical environment was on Windows 16 bit. This 
was before the development of StarOffice started. In late 1994/beginning 
of 1995 StarOffice was developed, based on StarView C++ class library 
for Windows 16 bit, Windows 32 bit, Windows (RISC), OS/2, Linux (x86), 
MacOS (PPC), SCO Open Server 5, AIX, HP UX, IRIX, Solaris Sparc, Solaris 
(x86), Solaris (PPC), OS/390, NetBSD and maybe some more operating 
systems. Some of these ports were never released as a product. Starting 
with StarOffice 4 PP3 the GUI class library changed from StarView to 
VCL, a class library which is still part of current development at Sun.


Kind regards, Joost
