Releasing CoGrOO 1.0
--------------------
We are happy to announce the first version of CoGrOO (Grammar Checker to
OpenOffice), the only open source grammar checker to Portuguese language.
This project was sponsored by FINEP (Free Software Edictal/2003),
University of São Paulo and University Center Senac-SP, and is hosted at
project incubator of FAPESP. This project has lasted two and a half years and
had 12 collaborators.
CoGrOO runs with OpenOffice.org (OOo) 1.X and 2.0. It is multi-platform,
running in Linux and Windows (other ports will come, because our grammar
checker server was implemented in Perl and GUI, in java).
Software can be download at:
Linux Version:
http://cogroo.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/down/builds/cogroo_installer_linux.bin
Windows Version:
http://cogroo.incubadora.fapesp.br/portal/down/builds/cogroo_installer_windows.exe

Although it's easy to install, we are going to give some tips:
Linux:
1) OpenOffice cannot be running during installation process (nor the OOo Quick
Initializator).
2) Make sure you have Perl and Java languages installed (install Sun's JRE
instead of gcj/gij).
3) You need to have pt_br locale installed.
4) Download CoGrOO Linux version installer.
5) Make this file an executable; use the following command: chmod +x
cogroo_installer_linux.bin
6) As root, invoke the installer: ./cogroo_installer_linux.bin
7) The installation process is fairly intuitive (Next, Next, Next....). The
final part of this installation process takes some time; don't worry!
Windows:
1) OpenOffice cannot be running during installation process (nor the OOo Quick
Initializator).
2) Make sure you have Perl and Java languages installed. Sun's JRE is available
in www.javasoft.com, and ActivePerl in
http://www.activeperl.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActivePerl .
3) Download CoGrOO Windows version installer.
4) Run installer.
5) Remaining steps are very intuitive (Next, Next, Next....). The final part of
this installation process takes some time; don't worry!
6) Reboot your machine!
