No means no. Neo is a program which is based on OpenOffice.org source
code. As well as Sun StarOffice is based on it.

No this is not the case. If you do not know the reason, it is nonsense to
reply to my mails, really.

Thanks for explanation. I do not think it is needed, I feel quite educated
after several years of regular (almost daily) building of OpenOffice.org on
GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Solaris/SPARC and providing
community builds of OpenOffice.org for ~40 languages.
Looks like you are thinking about the binaries. I do not care about
binaries. I care about source code, the core of the program.

Sure. And now look in the OpenOffice.org CVS - do you see all of Neo code
there? I unfortunately not - and I'm not blind! But I see all of
OpenOffice.org code there. Can you reproduce the same using your eyes?
I also do not see all Sun StarOffice source code there as well.

So it can't write OD. As OpenOffice.org in the current version CAN write
OD, consider it demonstrated they Neo is not OOo. QED

Good - we are now getting to the key point of this discussions! I can agree
with you on this!

Because you do not understand my points (or maybe I can't describe them
very well because of the language barrier).

And they are different! Read it again: they are different. Ask Sun people!
OOo doesn't yet support patch mechanism. StarOffice does -> consider it
demonstrated that Star Office and OpenOffice.org are different! QED
