1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OpenOffice.org for OS/2 and eCS is a port of OpenOffice 1.1.1
to the OS/2 Warp and eComStation platforms. It is based on
the latest code released by Sun Microsystems and the
OpenOffice.org community and provides OS/2 and eCS users
with the complete feature set of the OpenOffice.org suite.


2. Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OpenOffice.org for OS/2 and eCS requires a current version
of OS/2 or eCS, such as Convenience Pack 1, Convenience
Pack 2 or eComStation 1.1. Earlier versions of OS/2 have not
been tested.

In additions, the following components have to be installed.

- InnoTek Font Engine for OS/2 (FT2LIB)
- InnoTek Runtime for OS/2 (INNOWIN)
- InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java (optional)

The latest versions should be used, at least the current
version at the time when this build of OpenOffice.org has
been released, must be installed. The installer will verify
the presence of these components and refuse installation if
a component is not present or outdated.

InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java has to be present for
OpenOffice.org Java support. Some parts of OpenOffice have
been written in Java and without a Java installation, these
features will be disabled.

For installation, at least 500MB of disk space should be
available on the target drive. A complete installation
requires about 150MB of diskspace. However, the installation
requires temporary disk space.


3. Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Installation can be started by invoking the self extracting
installer. After the system requirements have been tested,
the OpenOffice.org installer will be launched. The
OpenOffice.org installer will guide you through the
installation process.

At the end, the installer will try to find an installed copy
of InnoTek OS/2 Kit for Java. Make sure that the detected
Java installation is up to date (at least the most recent
version of InnoTek's OS/2 Kit for Java at the time this build
of OpenOffice.org for OS/2 and eCS was released).
Do not try to point OpenOffice.org to another Java product (e.g.
IBM Java 1.3.1), this will most likely result in errors or
even system hangs.


4. Support
~~~~~~~~~~

Support is available for enterprise customers. Please
contact InnoTek at support@innotek.de.

In addition, InnoTek provides an online support forum at
http://www.innotek.de/support/forums. This is a platform for
end user support and will be monitored by InnoTek staff on
a regular basis.


5. Additional Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5.1 Changes to OpenOffice.org
The following changes have been performed compared to the
equivalent Windows release of OpenOffice.org:

- the Quickstart feature has been removed and is currently
  not supported
- Mobile Device support has been removed and is not
  supported
- Python support has been removed
- support for platform specific file dialogs has been
  removed


6. Known Problems / Restrictions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- the system codepage will be used for printing, this means
  that only characters present in the system codepage may be
  printed. On the screen, it is possible to display the full
  range of Unicode characters due to the use of FT2LIB. As
  OS/2 does not support printing Unicode characters, we
  recommend creating PDF documents in OpenOffice and using
  Acrobat Reader for printing them.

- integrated FTP support does not function correctly (cross
  platform OpenOffice issue)
