Seriously, are you daft? "Of the same vintage of Windows 2 or 3?" I said Microsoft Office 2001 - Two-Thousand-One. That's the vintage of Windows XP - not Windows 2 or 3. You have no concept of what Macintosh OS 9 is or anything - do you? Windows XP is not Unix based - and OOo runs on it. Windows 98 isn't Unix based *or* NT based - and OOo runs on it. Being Unix based has *zero* to do with it. You don't have to be UNIX based to port OOo. In fact, Mac OS X - which *is* UNIX based, requires more work than Windows, which is not. You don't know what you are talking about. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ Because everyone loves free software!
