Hi there,
this is just to inform you that I have created a refresh for the BSF4ooRexx
distribution (bridges
ooRexx and Java) and uploaded it to Sourceforge at
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/GA/BSF4ooRexx-411.20130714-GA/>.
The name of the
new installation file is "BSF4ooRexx_install-20130714-GA-refresh20140112.zip".
All new downloads will be linked to this new refresh installation package.
This refresh fixes the following installation problems:
* Apache OpenOffice 4.x
o all platforms: fix bug in parsing UTF-16LE output from "unoinfo",
o on Windows: find Apache OpenOffice 4.x installations via registry,
* on Linux/Unix: creating logfile BSF4ooRexx.log for user "root" in "/tmp".
HTH,
