Thank you, Pedro. Thanks for the spell-checking too!
Yes, the comment about quickstarter was misplaced and should go where there is mention of turning it off. I did not notice the date change situation when I applied the procedure. I think the date is preserved in the File Explorer listing. I will double-check the date business. I also note that * there are two list items (3) in the procedure. That will be corrected. * the final location of the material is incorrect, and that will be repaired also. - Dennis PS: The .odt attachment appears on the qa@ list mailings and that archive. I think it may be good to create a bugzilla issue on this testing so anyone can post and also access attachments. I will do that today. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pedro Lino [mailto:pedl...@gmail.com] > Sent: Wednesday, August 3, 2016 09:08 > To: q...@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: [TESTING] Applying openoffice-4.1.2-patch1 for Windows > > Hi all > > > > > REQUESTED TESTING > > * [OPTIONAL] If you are able to check any of the .asc, > .md5, and .sha256 files against the .zip, report any > difficulties that may have been encountered. > > > > Checked md5 and sha256.
