Great to hear that someone is interested in my work to get the free open source 
library system Koha to run on OpenSolaris and the SAMP stack!!!

Can the opening problem come from that the document is created in StarOffice 9 
(beta)??? Can you try to install OOo.org 3 and see if it opens correctly then?

When (if) you manage to read the document, please don't hesitate to send any 
questions to me.

It's only a ODF text document there at the moment but I'll put up a PDF too.
