Ciao Fridrich Hope you are not too snowed in...
Thanks for all the instructions, they supplied a couple of missing bits :=) I am running a variety of Slackware and SuSE distributions, SW 10.0 on a a PII laptop with OOo1.1.4, Writerperfect etc. and all is working fine. The main computers and the other laptop have SuSE 9.2 and there I struck some problems making writerperfect with a simple make command in an SDK shell. I solved (?) the problem on my wife's computer by installing 1.9.74!! But I want to sort out the 1.1.4 system so that everytime I reinstall a snapshot there are no complaints that the interface looks different (again) or whatever. Hopefully I get a chance on a machine here in the office to try out your instructions today. I will let you know how things go. regards from Affoltern a A Martin On Wed, 16 Feb 2005 08:19:11 +0100 Fridrich Strba <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > Martin Fox wrote: > > I actually wanted to mention to you that the OOo 1.9XX snapshots > > currently have a built in WP filter for reading - no other program > > needed!
