    That Software Freedom CD I won at MerriLUG last month has both of 
them on it, I believe.  The CD is gone, so I can't confirm that for 
sure.  All the programs are exe auto-installation types.

    I gave the CD to my patent lawyer so he could use OpenOffice.  He 
uses Corel, which can't open the latest word documents if they contain 
"hidden notes".  I had done the paper in OO *.odt format and exported 
to doc, thinking that was "lingua franca" between the two word 
processors.  Corel garbled the file.

    OO installed with no problem.  It handles both WordPerfect and Word 
documents flawlessly.  He is absolutely amazed with OO compared to 
Corel.  He wants to  learn to use it himself, as well as convert his 
office staff.  But I warned him, "Not on my nickel, if you please."
