Generally, most users use NeoOffice, our native Mac OS X application, instead of RetroOffice. Since RetroOffice is an X11 application, it is only used by a small number of users such as:

• NeoOffice testers and support volunteers that use it for troubleshooting purposes
• Mac OS X users that prefer using an X11 application instead of a native Mac OS X application

Although RetroOffice is free, we ask that you donate a small amount before you download RetroOffice.

The cost and time spent on RetroOffice are trivial for a large corporation, but they are very large for the two people that operate the RetroOffice project so donations are used to help pay for RetroOffice cash expenses like bandwidth, machines, and webhosting fees that we would have to pay for ourselves.

Please consider donating a couple of dollars or Euros to help us continue to provide RetroOffice to everyone for free. You can donate funds online using a credit card or a PayPal account. Even though we use PayPal as our credit card processor, please note that a PayPal account is not required when using a credit card. Just click on the following button to make a donation:

Important: Be sure to press the Return to NeoOffice.org button to return to our site after you complete your donation.

If you have made a donation recently, there is no requirement to donate again. Just click the Skip Donation button to go to the list of the available downloads.

To install and run RetroOffice, you must have the following:

• Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
• 512 MB of memory
• 400 MB of free disk space

Since RetroOffice is developed by volunteers and tested by users, we expect that users will find crashing or other serious bugs. We strongly recommend that you save your work frequently so that if you encounter a crashing bug, you will not lose much data. If you feel that you need software that has been heavily tested, we recommend that you use a commercially-supported product like Microsoft Office or Apple iWork.

Only install the versions of RetroOffice that are listed on this web site. Please do not install an unlisted version even if you downloaded it from this web site in the past. Using such unlisted versions is very risky as unlisted versions have bugs that we have fixed in the listed versions.

Lastly, when users report crashing or other serious bugs, we fix these bugs as fast as possible and release small patches that contain these bug fixes. We recommend that you get the latest bug fixes by downloading and installing the latest RetroOffice patch installer.

Make sure that you read the important warnings for all users and check out the list of features and bugs before you install RetroOffice.

To install, double-click on the downloaded file in the Finder. This should cause the Disk Copy application to open. The Disk Copy application should automatically open the downloaded file and display a volume called RetroOffice on your desktop. Double-click on the RetroOffice volume. This should open a Finder window that contains a RetroOffice.pkg file. Double-click on the RetroOffice.pkg file and the RetroOffice installer should start.

By default, the installer will create an application called RetroOffice in your /Applications folder. To launch RetroOffice, just double-click on the RetroOffice application icon in the Finder.

Important: After installing, get the latest bug fixes by downloading and installing the latest RetroOffice patch installer.

By default, the installer only installs English but language packs are available for 57 other languages. To add support for any of the other languages not included in the installer, install RetroOffice 2.2.5 and then download and install the language pack for your language.

A list of available language packs can be found here.

To uninstall, just drag the RetroOffice application from the Finder into the Mac OS X trash can.

Uninstalling RetroOffice should have no effect on any OpenOffice.org installation that you may have as RetroOffice and OpenOffice.org have completely separate configuration and user files.
