Please let me second Joerg's request for a debuggable download. My interest arises not from any mystery or suspicion of a problem in the OOo code but simply from a taste for using an interactive debugger as a tool for understanding the code. I think this habit is somewhat common.
Is it possible to make a debuggable download which will work for as broad a range of systems as the installation sets currently offered? Cheers, Terry.
