Actually, the /net thing existed back when StarOffice was owned by Star
Division.  I paid $$$ for SO5.2, and it shipped from Germany.  But the
license key they provided was wrong.  By the time I got it straightened
out SO5.2 was free for download, grrrrr..........

But I have a manual that says "Product Of Star Division".  Some day it
will sell for thousands on e-bay :)
