Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: OpenOffice.org 2.0 public beta 1

++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service   http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Joachim Benjamins <joachimESPAM at DESPAMmensys.nl>

Serenity Systems International is pleased to announce the first public beta 
of OpenOffice.org 2.0 for eComStation and OS/2.

This build is based on the 2.0.3 sourcecode of OpenOffice.org, making it on 
par with the current Windows releases.

Beta 1 is available for immediate download in English, German, Italian and 
Dutch to all customers of the Support Agreement for OpenOffice.org for 
eComStation and IBM OS/2, via their download-area at the Mensys Online Shop.


** Notes **

- Please make sure to read the included READ1ST.TXT document, which
   includes hints on installation and a list of known issues.

- Installation takes around 240 MB of drivespace.

- Innotek FontEngine not supported, which makes the displayfonts look
   ugly. Support for the FontEngine will be added in the final release.

- no eComStation or OS/2 specific enhancements are available in this
   beta yet.


** Planned enhancements **

  1) support for Innotek FontEngine
  2) support for mouse wheel
  3) enhanced clipboard
  4) bidi & dbcs font support (depends on demand)
  5) WPS support
  6) native GUI controls
  7) support SANE for scanners.

Support for the following items is not planned:

  1) Java support
  2) Mozilla support


** More information **

More information on OpenOffice.org can be found at:

** User Support **

Support specific to the eComStation and OS/2 version can be obtained
