For those of you that have been waiting for NeoOffice to be released 
for OS-X on your Mac, you can get it now as the beta 1.1 release 
candidate has been tossed out there to sink or swim (has all of the 
features of (OpenOffice.org V 1.1.4 but you do not need Apple's X11 
installed to run it like you do for OO.o).

p.s. The "outer window" looks OS-X-like, but the inner stuff (the 
widgets) still has/have that unmistakable not OS-X-look to them.

It is of course free, but it is a 118 MB download expanding out to 
around 380 MB, so those of you using dial-up may want to get a friend 
using broadband to snag a copy for you. Also, you can download many 
other languages to use with it, if you need more than the basic twenty 
or so it ships with.


 From the description:

NeoOffice/J is a fully-featured set of office applications (including 
word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and drawing programs) for 
Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice/J 
incorporates dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and 
exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft 
Office. Unlike the Mac OS X release of OpenOffice.org, NeoOffice/J does 
not require the X11 windowing system.

Released as free, open-source software under the GNU General Public 
License (GPL), NeoOffice/J is fully functional and stable enough for 
everyday use. The software is actively developed, and updates and 
improvements are available on a regular basis.

  What's new in this version:
  With this release, NeoOffice/J now supports all features in 
OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 including drag-and-drop between NeoOffice/J and 
other applications.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if 
I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
