Hello Steven, earlier this year there was a short discussion on the list. http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from=1672864 I'm not sure that you saw it. I understand that the program is only available if you buy the support see: http://www.ecomstation.com/openoffice.phtml and: http://shop.mensys.nl/cgi-bin/db2www/mns_art2.d2w/report?catname=OpenOfficeOS2&username=&i1=&o=&x=02:15:11&Search=ECOMSTATION&C=250 Maybe also take a look at Innotek (www.innotek.de) that made OOo for Windows run on OS/2 with Odin. But they also send you back to Memsys to buy the support package... http://www.innotek.de/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=47 The rationale for OOo on OS/2 not being free would be that there are no volunteers working for this port. -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and dutch OOo 2.2 RC 4 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
