As far as I am aware Learning Pathways do not have a monopoly on the 
distribution of Star Office. Talking to Sun in the USA they knew nothing 
about them and were rather surprised by the £100 per school charge which I 
guess is for the support. I am currently trying to contact the relevant part 
of Sun UK to clarify the position because IRL Computer Systems Ltd are a Sun 
Star Office Now partner. I intend to distribute Star Office 6 with a full SOW 
including assessment and lesson plans for KS3 a la new NC so that there 
really is an education reason to switch to Star Office. We will then 
gradually build more applications around Star Office with a view to filling 
the CD with useful materials.

Regards,
