I haven't used it much, but I did do a Word 97 to Word 95 conversion in it and it worked perfectly which impressed me :) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
Re: Staroffice 5.01?
According to Daniel O'Connor: unzip -L the setup.zip file in the inst directory. cd into the inst directory and run setup You don't even need this with 5.01. I installed it today on my 4.0-CURRENT machine and everything went fine. I'used the same method as described on http://lt.tar.com/. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- robe...@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #69: Mon Jan 18 02:02:12 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
Re: Staroffice 5.01?
Thanks all - I finally got it to work. It still stops and asks me to insert StarOffice 5.01, yes, no, cancel. Hitting cancel a few times allows the installation to continue. I had gotten this far before, but didn't try hitting cancel. Does anyone's installation allow them to use the web browsing or email component?

According to Alok K. Dhir: Thanks all - I finally got it to work. It still stops and asks me to insert StarOffice 5.01, yes, no, cancel. Hitting cancel a few times allows the installation to continue. I haven't seen this. Does anyone's installation allow them to use the web browsing or email component? The web browing part works beautifully (although SO5 is by itself more memory hungry than Netscape :-)) and I haven't tried the mail part. I don't even plan to test it, Mutt is working perfectly. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- robe...@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #69: Mon Jan 18 02:02:12 CET 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

RE: Staroffice 5.01?
I was unable to install it. It complains about not being able to copy 'setup.zip' to '/tmp/sv001.tmp' and keeps bombing out. This is after pointing LD_LIBRARY_PATH to a place with glibc2, etc. Did you have any trouble installing? Al On Wed, 24 Feb 1999, Daniel O'Connor wrote: On 24-Feb-99 Alok K.
