StarOffice 5.1a on NT 3.51

Post by roytam1 »

Although StarOffice 5.1a is not intended to be installed on NT 3.51, by replacing SETUP.EXE with the one from StarOffice 5.0, it do install and run under NT 3.51 (besides the UI font issue).

Some other applications (for example earlier Mozilla/Seamonkey) have similar UI font size issue under English NT 3.51..

Does StarOffice 5.1 support double-byte character sets properly?

Unfortunately no.(Or I should say "incomplete")
Office 97(even English version) supports DBCS better.

StarOffice 5.2 under NT 3.51 Chinese.
Star Office 5.2 installer doesn't work in NT 3.51, but the installed binaries somewhat works.

StarOffice 5.x doesn't support Office 97-2003 files well, I converted the test word file to 6.0-95 format.
