[X4U] NeoOffice: is it X or Windows? I see yellow Folders!

[DZ-Jay]

NeoOfficeJ is not a Windows nor an OS X program:  Its an port of 
OpenOffice, compiled as a native OS X application, so that it doesn't 
require X Windows to run.  The reason it looks so much like OpenOffice 
is because it *is* OpenOffice.  The interface is based on one of the 
UNIX/Linux Open Source interfaces (Gnome, KDE, other, I don't know), it 
is different than any native Windows application also.
