[lug] StarOffice & xwin32

[Evelyn Mitchell]

There is a small application that comes with StarOffice which
can be used to do presentations without installing the
full package.

You can download StarOffice for WinX, and install just the
presentation component StarOffice Player. 

I've never done this, though. YMMV.
