NeoOffice/J 0.9 released

The OS X version of OpenOffice that doesn't need X11 has just made a new release. Get it at http://www.planamesa.com/neojava/en/index.php

The most notable feature is the ability to cut & paste text and images from other Mac software, something that was sorely missed in previous versions.

If you've been annoyed with the way OpenOffice displays fonts under X11 (They're ugly. No point denying it), give NeoOffice/J a try.

It's still an interesting project. Trying it out won't hurt much (I think). Guess we're all looking for ways to ditch MS Office from our Macs. ;-)

Its intended for developers in the sense that it hasn't undergone the rigorous testing that some office suites have, but that's never stopped anyone, has it?

Hehe... Fryke, I remember your web site about getting a collection of apps together to make a psuedo office collection. Ah, Okito!

Okito has been revived as NisusWriter Express, so that's still around. Haven't heard much about those spreadsheet apps, though... I still think it'd be a good idea to have someone put some of the great Cocoa apps together as a bundle... For those interested: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17502 is the old thread.
