Besides being off-topic, it is also 60 megabytes in size, something
even Word for Windows hasn't gotten to yet.

If I may just add my 2 cents, let me just state that to compare the
size of StarOffice and WinWord is unfair: you should compare with
the whole MS Office standard (Word+Excel+PowerPoint), which takes
about 40 Mb on my computer (Windoze 3.11, Word 6, Excel 5 and
matching PowerPoint version). I do not know about Office 95, but
it is probably bigger (comments?)...
