Hi, I just built RC2 on 6-STABLE with CUPS knob on in the pkg config system via portupgrade. No other mods. Build time was about a day, give or take-the usual, but no big hairy with ULE scheduler. No problems. Tests came out good so far. I have one doc that has a lot of vector 'speech balloons' over a large raster graphic that never works on anything but original Word, but OOo did load and display it quite fast and got over half the speech balloons right! On normal docs it just works. I did get some inversion of images inserted as files that were created through Xsane/Gimp, but I fixed that through use of the gfx filter. It was probably a format issue. Internal scanning dialogue worked fine. None of the docs I ran through it caused any failures. I have docs going back - well, at least to the Word bundled with Windows 95. That would also be a German version because I lived in Germany back then. I also have used other versions of Word also up to Mac OS and Word 2003. Looking good! Thanks for the good work. BTW, might there be a call for integrating with Gnome menus and mime types? I like Gnome because it's easier on my eyes than KDE. I am partially blind and eye stress reduction is important. Right now I do the configuration via the Gnome menu editor and manual settings of icons, targets via the desktop files under ~/.local. I have no great understanding of how that's done, but I wouldn't mind looking at ports that do such integration and see if I couldn't hack something together (e.g. Gimp, Dia, etc.) I think that the menu stuff is probably going to be basic and the mime types less so. Don't call me much more than a power noob with a rusty CS degree, but maybe I could float something out on the list that others could perfect? Charles
