Before major surgery, I tried the file that started all
of this.  It was a .odt that would not open in 2.0 and
was built by my wife on win2.0.2.

It works for me now (with only font issues to resolve),
so I assume that 2.0.2 is now installed functionally,
although there certainly was no fanfare.  The "About"
still says 2.0

Enlightening comments please.......Or the other kind.  :)

TIA

Lee
