OpenOffice Alpha port has never really been finished and probably never will
be, unless the Russian guys decide to do it. Otherwise, Tru64 5.1, there wa=

binary for Koffice, as well as Gnu and K desktops.  A third alternative is
Windows NT - both WordPerfect/Quattro and MS Office 97 ran native 64 bit.  =
You
could buy an extra hard drive for your extra OS.  The Miata was flexible th=
at way.

Good luck!
