Er, hetrogenous = Linux, Solaris, NT machines, all using staroffice,
without requiring three installations on the server. So, you could have one
dir with the arch-independant files, and other dirs with NT binaries,
linux binaries, Solaris binaries etc. Saving a lot of space. I don't think
it can be done though...
