System: NetBSD grappa 1.5V NetBSD 1.5V (GRAPPA) #4: Sun Jun 10 21:17:36 EDT 2001 gr@grappa:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GRAPPA i386

>Description:
	pkg/10587 discusses updating the Star Office pkg to support SO
	5.2, and appears to still be open.

	The 5.2 installer is less than friendly towards being installed on
	BSD at all, much less living in a pkg, but now our pkg is entirely
	broken as the 5.1 files seem to be gone (if they've even been on
	Sun's site all this time).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to find a way to open a Word Perfect document on your
	perfectly good NetBSD workstation. Be completely stymied.
	(Thoughts on how to deal with that are welcome privately to my
	email address, incidentally.)
>Fix:
	Steal the FreeBSD port setup for StarOffice 5.2?

	See
	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/editors/staroffice52/

	I don't know if port2pkg will grok this, and I'm not sure I've got
	time to mess with it now, but I may.
