Should be back now, sorry about that. I was trying to clean up some of
the old ooffice lockers, intending to keep the current 3.0.1 default on,
in preparation for deleting the others. Mixed up where I was editing
between the R/W and R/O volumes and botched it.
Out of curiosity- do you expect to continue to need to use ooffice out
of the locker installation for a significant period of time? I'm trying
to assess how long the locker version will need to stay around...
