The thing even "exports" to PDF without Java. Same here - I still have a v2 installation on another system that has been installed by package, and it just works. It was the last OpenOffice I could install via packages (localized, with dictio- naries included, without unneeded stuff like KDE, Gnome, CUPS and Java). > Since then, however, I haven't been able to find a working OO.o binary > package for FreeBSD, so I haven't upgraded my OO.o version. I have found packages, but they don't work for me. I do always get "** (soffice:579): WARNING **: unable to get gail version number", but well, other things like Java in Firefox, or Acrobat Reader, also don't work, so I put those aside and will try again in some weeks. :-) > > It took about 15 "seconds" of manual count to see an empty window > > after typing "openoffice.org-3.0.0 -nologo".

If you need information about command line options, they can be obtained this way: % /usr/local/bin/openoffice.org-3.0.0-swriter -help The -nologo option is explained as "don't show startup screen". In the usual unpolite way, there doesn't seem to be a man page. Documentation is stored arbitrarily on the Web. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
