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.
