Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

CROWLEY LAKE, Calif.--(OPENOSX-COM)—April 3rd, 2003-- OpenOSX today announced the immediate availability of an enhanced version of their Mac OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar) Updater in the form of a free downloadable package. Included in the update is a new version of OpenPrint that will resolve a potential printing issue with OpenOSX Office 1.0 on Jaguar systems and offers additional updated software such as OroborOSX 0.85, bringing new features and increased performance and stability.

The update will enable Jaguar compatibility for OpenOSX Office, OpenOSX Grass (versions prior to 5.0.0 - newer versions do not require the update), OpenOSX Gimp and OpenOSX XFree products. OpenOSX’s OpenPrint program enables native Print Center support for their Office product (and any X11 based application that supports postscript printing).

The OpenOSX Office product will install AbiWord, Gnumeric, and much more in a couple of minutes by a single click installer. AbiWord is the award-winning open source alternative to Microsoft* Word and Gnumeric is a world-class spreadsheet with 95% of the functions of Microsoft(TM) Excel built-in.

The OpenOSX Gimp CD will install "The GNU Image Manipulation Program" (or The Gimp). The Gimp allows Mac OS X users to create and edit graphics files such as Photoshop documents (with layers). This graphical image manipulation program is a popular open source alternative to Adobe Photoshop(TM).
