Ladies & Gents,

Hello to you all. I'm probably asking a question asked a hundred times before, but I have tried the self-help sections of the web site, and typed all sorts of things into "x-term" but to no avail, and I'm hoping someone can tell me an easy solution, preferably without writing a book's worth of terminal commands! I am a veteran of CPM, DOS & Windows (up to 98), but once I ditched PCs, I've become used to using already set up MS Office for Mac. Hey, MS Office is crap, but it's up and running. I would love to use the (much better) Open Office, but these days, I need something that's ready to go.

Here is what I did. I downloaded version 2.4 of Open Office. When I started the program up, post installation, it told me I needed Apple X11, so I installed it from Mac OS X Panther (10.3), as instructed. When I launch Open Office, it sort of opens itself, then opens X-Term, and then stops.

My system details are as follows: I have an Apple Macintosh Powerbook G3 Lombard, with a 400 MHz processor, 256MB RAM, and 6GB HD, running MacOS 10.3.9 (but I installed X11 from the original 10.3.0 install discs).

Can anyone help please? Perhaps I need an older version of Open Office for my hardware/software?

Many thanks to all.

Kind regards,

Marcus.
