HELP
I downlaoded Open Office 2.0 at the weekend, to my Mac (OSX 10.3.5).  It took 
ages. Hours and hours.  When it finally 'arrived', it appeared as a desktop 
icon resembling a hard drive. I also downloaded some .sxw files.  When I tried 
to open one - nothing, nada, zilch.  Except for 'Open Office' appearing in the 
finder menu bar, but with only 2 menu options - File, and Edit, neither of 
which was accessible, with options greyed out.  So I couldn't access/read the 
files either.  I checked the web site for info, and tried using advice 
therein. Then 'if it doesn't work' (it didn't)I then tried finding tghe files 
indicated.  There were no 'libdl' files to be found.  (What do I want with 
file xtensions? I run a Mac.  The downladed installer did nothing.
That isn't even the worst part.  I deleted the agonisingly difficult 
downloads. The huge space taken up by the downloaded software wasn't 
recovered.  (It used more than 3 GB.)
I tried a clean reinstall.  No joy - except that I appear to have lost all of 
my data, some of which I felt sure I didn't need to back up.  (I did, of 
course.)
I am still short of all that HD space.  My OS is still virtually inoperable. 
(Not OOo's fault I grant you, but while I'm whinging ...)
And ...
I have already successfully downloaded OOo 2.0 to my PC (Win XP pro.) and used 
it.  No probs at all.  But I'm having to send this missive on the PC and not 
my mac because ....  Enough!  Sorry.
Any idea what happened?
