I hope a way, even if not an official release, can be found to make this available more or less concurrently with the AOO 4.0 release.

A minimise process for this application wuld be useful. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
