The Apache OpenOffice project does not have the capacity for what you are able to find elsewhere. As you know, the Apache OpenOffice project has never provided a Solaris distribution, although there were folks who managed to build one themselves. The same goes for OS/2, although OS/2 patches are contributed back upstream. There are probably other efforts that we simply don't know about. The question I am left with is this: If a cousin development provides what you want, why are you not satisfied with that? - Dennis > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
