[OPLINTECH] Open Office

[Lynne Welch]

Steve's question reminds me that Glen Horton (from GCLC) wrote an article 
in the State Library's Nov/Dec 2005 newsletter about Open Office. I thought 
it sounded like a good solution for our public computers.

But when I downloaded a copy, following the instructions on the site 
www.theopencd.org (which took forever, by the way - I don't recommend it 
when you're trying to do other things!) - the file saved as a .ISO and 
refused to open! I've tried it on Win2000, WinXP, and Win98 so far with no 
luck. None of them know what program will open it, and it's apparently not 
executable on its own.

Can anybody explain to me what I did wrong? The Installation Instructions 
say to unpack - but how?

Thank you,
Lynne
