Not always. Ask Peter.

>java version "1.4.2"

>HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

That's fine. I run the sdk and you just run the jre, so the build numbers
might differ somewhat.

Why bother?

I still think you are confused. The Open Office build you got almost
surely came from Innotek and includes Innotek code.

>The read me for runtime in

Yes, as far as I know.

Yes.

>How do you recommend that I proceed?

It will not hurt to do a full install of Open Office. Just run the exe
without switches and follow the prompts.

>Off the subject--when is the next SCOUG meeting and will you be there?

We are almost always the 3rd Saturday of the month. That would be Aug 20
and Sep 17.

>like to meet you and, I hope, Peter Skye and some of the others who have

That would be fun.

Regards,

Steven
