looks like I have deleted this paragraph somehow while making my reply to
your mail short. But I think it is important to answer it too. Maybe this
will clear the confusion you have about my writings.
Maybe it will come as a surprise to you, but I completely agree with you on
this paragraph. Unfortunately X11 is not that native as Java/Cocoa
framework on Mac OS X, so Neo can sometimes be much better choice for pure
Mac OS X users. This is fact and I never said a word against it.
OpenOffice.org Mac OS X porting team would be happy to accept any work
making the OpenOffice.org even better on Mac OS X, but unfortunately we
can't simply grab the enhancements made for Neo. There are two types of
reasons: technical and license issues. Technical issues are solvable by
both teams but unfortunately OpenOffice.org team can't do anything with
license issue because we (the Mac OS X porting team) are bound by the
OpenOffice.org license which is GNU LGPL right now.

your program writes your data complete and correct to disk.
