The complex interdependency of libraries means it's not always that easy. What we really want is a 64-bit version of OOo. I sent an email some months ago to someone described as the Project Manager (or some such title) enquiring about a 64-bit version, but never received a response. -- Cheers, TonyB --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
