Luckily, Sun is run by a bunch of Nazis, and doesn't use a standard directory tree to distribute their stuff. After 15 minutes of searching I can't figure out how to get the version 13 stuff off their site, and thus I can't build OpenOffice.org for my shiny, new laptop ... Does anyone have any advice on how to get the required files from Sun? -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com
