Serenity Systems International is pleased to announce the second public beta of OpenOffice.org 2.0 for eComStation and OS/2.

This build is based on the 2.0.4 sourcecode of OpenOffice.org, making it on par with the current Windows releases.

Beta 2 is available for immediate download in English, German, Italian, Spanish, French, Russian 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 300 MB of drivespace, plus an additional 40 MB per installed language.

- Innotek FontEngine is now fully supported, which provides improved fontrendering.

- It is advised to use TrueType fonts (TTF) over Type1 fonts (eCS default) as they render better with the Fontengine.
