I could knock together an installer if needed, assuming that the installer on OS4 is compatable with the one from CBM (same syntax) Regards -- I like work ... I can sit and watch it for hours.

First of all i'd like to thank Paul for his work on aspell, i will upload his sources to the CVS if it's not been done yet. Paul, how stable was this port? Could this be used by other people already? If so, let me know so it can be submitted to os4depot. Thomas, could you provide a list of the coreutils you already ported to os4 and, if possible, dump the sources on the cvs or devsite? Cheers

Hello, Say, any of you PR people willing to write up an article for amiGBG? (Or any of you planning to be there?) I received an inquiry for more info about the project, but i'm not very good at writing texts. The one who does it gets a cookie ;) Kind regards -- I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter. -- Blaise Pascal Amon_Re Christophe Ochal Hoge Buizemont 168 9500 Geraardsbergen, Belgium Mobile: 0032 (0)479/46 45 74 http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be

David, I tried to post a news item on the http://www.amigaopenoffice.org site, but couldn't get past the htmlarea3 text boxes due to JS errors (both with Firefox & IE), also, clicking on 'PM' in the forum there gives a page not found error. Cheers
