It appears that your difficulties are a failure to understand our directions so I will attempt to make this as simple as possible: 1. Open FireFox (if you don't have this program download and install it from Mozilla.org.) Safari has a known problem downloading files from a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. 2. Type in the address given in the original reply in the address field. Copy/paste works as well. 3. If you are redirected to the top level directory as you were before, select the file with PowerPC (PPC) and en_US in the name. 4. These packages are over 150MB in size and take about one hour to download over a 1MB connection. > >Hi Eric, > >Thanks for the response. Sigh, I'm still having problem.

I'll also need explicit directions of how to >make the main.scpt change. Shaun will have to do this. >3. mail me an updated version of openoffice. No, no and further no. Your ISP will choke on this file. >4. post an updated version of openoffice on a website where I could >retrieve it. good-day.net is hosted on a very good connection and a very good server. These files may also exist on other 'mirror' sites. > > Of course, you may think of other solutions beyond those listed >above, e.g. if openoffice3.0-eng-us is real close, I can wait for it. Release is soon on OpenOffice 3.0. You can try the latest beta for it and let us know if you have problems. This release is NOT for production use, however. > >Thanks much for all your help! > >Cheers! > >Dave > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
