Dear List:
As far as I know, Oo can run on a mac, Tiger and up.
However Mac has gone several steps beyond Tiger by now, so If his OS is
Tiger, he may need to use an older version.
Also if he needs to share data with file systems other than HFS or HFS+,
he will need to deal with spiltting and reassembling the mac fork for
each Mac file, no matter what the application.
Cheers,
Bruce M.

I know absolutely squat about mac computers, but have a friend who
wants to
use
OOo on one. When I searched for 'openoffice on mac' on the
openoffice.org/
site, I found several inquiries similar to mine, but no answers. Has
anyone
been
successful at this? And, if the answer is "Yes," could you please
share a link
or specific 1-2-3-type instructions on how to go about it? It is a
laptop with
Mac OS X v10.5.8

Yes. Just click the link that corresponds to your language and
operating system here:

Thanks Johnny, I hadn't seen that exact page. The only two Mac
options I saw
listed were OS Intel and PowerPC. Would either of those likely work
on his OS X?
If he has an Intel processor he should download the Intel version,
otherwise the PowerPC version is the right one.
