Ask the OpenOffice.org project why they have not created a native OpenBSD port. It's their application. If you don't like that answer, then the reason is what dreamwvr stated; *you* have not yet ported it. There are no technical reasons other than the application was not written to be portable. Since you don't have the skill to do it yourself, you also do not have the right to complain about it. Alternatively, you do have the right to pay someone who does have the skills to port it for you. This is the way application compatibility works. Someone has to make it happen. Do you expect someone else to take the time out of their day to make it happen? What are you going to give them for their time? DS
