Free openoffice.org 3.0 software for mac

Start OpenOffice.org is a double-clickable Mac OS X application that allows the user to easily open documents created by "OpenOffice.org".
It also provides an easy way to just launch "OpenOffice.org".
Enhancements:
- Fix problem with the "Application.applescript" and "Utility.applescript" scripts being too long to edit with Script Editor - moved some handlers around, removed unused code etc, and created new "ChangeHistory.applescript" file.
- Add support for Mac OS X 10.3.x Fast User Switching feature - each user has a different X11 DISPLAY. Original patches provided by Randolph Brown and others; support added to handle the actual X11 DISPLAY being used at runtime.
- Add Preferences dialog field for the preferred X11 DISPLAY.
- No longer need Direct to PostScript option.
- Add support for handling files with special shell characters and Unicode characters in their filenames. Based on idea by Roger Jolly.
- Add support for checking for updates, using MacPAD.
- Add support for localized MacPAD messages.
- Conditionally support the MacPAD "barber-pole" progress bar at runtime for different versions of Mac OS X.
- Add additional User Defaults, including default "OpenOffice.org" module name.
- No longer set DYLD_LIBRARIES_PATH.
- Check if BSD tools are installed.
- Default "OpenOffice.org" version to "OpenOffice.org" v1.1.x.
- Add support for special handling of "-net" installs and "-net" workstation installs.
- Launch "OpenOffice.org" document (if any), separately, after launching "OpenOffice.org" itself, to work around weird problems when documents have special shell chars in their name.
- Major changes for handling paths and URLs.
- Tidy-up debugging.
- Fix bug with handling fonts dragged to "Start OpenOffice.org" after launch, if "soffice" has never been run (perhaps because of a X Window Server launch error).
- Change Mac OS X 10.1.x hack to be an AppleScript Studio hack for older Mac OS X (< 10.2.3).
- Increase wait time from 5-10 secs to 30 secs and improve checking for "OpenOffice.org" launch, as "OpenOffice.org" v1.1.x "pagein" process can take a long time on a slow machine before the "soffice" process is running.
- Put up "Please Wait..." floating window before time consuming operations; automatically hide the window when choosing a X Window Server or when an error Alert is up.
- Make "isProcessRunning" handler only look at processes for this user; and ignore "zombies".
- Merge French localization resources from Yves de Champlain.

SpriteWorld is an extensive Open Source collection of powerful routines Mac programmers can use to implement smooth, fast sprite animation in games and other applications.
The features lend themselves to the creation of nearly any kind of 2D game, particularly those that are action oriented as SpriteWorlds routines are highly optimized for speed.
SpriteWorld comes with complete source code in C, so you can study the code to gain a further understanding of how SpriteWorld works, or change areas you want to work differently.
SpriteWorld contains very thorough Inside-Mac style documentation. As well, many demos are available that show how to use almost every aspect of SpriteWorld, including one demo that is a complete game.
