Thanks Chris - as I got linux emulation on for StarOffice, I can give that a try. My installing an older port question was a bit more complicated. What I was trying to ask: suppose I wanted to install 4.72 to see if that version was any better. My 4.0 systems only seem to have a port entry for 4.73. So am I not finding the 4.72 entry? Or, can this be done (easily)?
