Thanks for the explanation. And I confess that is what I thought. However, it seems every couple of days I see a reference to versions not available on downloads.openoffice.org.
So, for the Developer/QA volunteers who attempt (like me) to be useful to some of the non-geeks (aka normal people) who ask questions on this list - try not to recommend versions that haven't been released. (There is probably a reason the world didn't openly see 1.9.123 and 1.9.124 - and apparently 125 is still in QA). It is pretty easy to check what is out there now. Please do. You may be fined twice your openoffice paychecks for transgressions (two times zero is what again? 8-) Highhorse comments over, John On 8/26/05, Jonathon Blake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > John wrote: > > > I've seen "authoritative" answers to try versions that don't seem to > > What gives? > > Who gives? > > Those versions are usually compiled by people who are doing one of the > following: > * Working on a l10n project; > * Doing QA related work; > * Checking / verifying source code issues; > > The first two are as safe as any alpha software is.
