Hi David
Yes, I tried starting several OO4 apps from the command line. No, there is no output.
I do not use yum/rpm so had a go at installing the required DLL files from the url given in the readme - I would not be surprised if I've missed something/installed a wrong DLL package/have older DLL files already installed.
I would refer to the above mentioned readme file more accurately but I've just discovered that (a)e.exe no longer wants to work properly - possibly a result of INI file checking/cleaning. The (a)e.exe starts when I click on a text file but does not appear on screen; it is on the Window List but selecting it does not make it appear on screen. The only thing I can do is "kill" the invisible application.
Getting (a)e.exe working properly again takes precedence over a package that probably will not work even if all support files are in place - based on my experience of OO3 releases.
Regards
Pete
