Documents saved with SRC680 builds, prior to m64, cannot be opened by 2.0Beta or later. This especially applies to Writer documents. To be able to open them, files need to be coverted. Convert each file using the following procedure:
For example, you have a file called 'test.oot' on Unix/Solaris. Use the following commands to convert the file:
$ cp test.oot test.odt
$ unzip test.odt mimetype META-INF/manifest.xml
$ mv mimetype mimetype.bak
$ sed -e"s/x-vnd\.oasis\.openoffice/vnd.oasis.opendocument/" mimetype.bak >mimetype
$ zip -0 test.odt mimetype
$ mv META-INF/manifest.xml META-INF/manifest.xml.bak
$ sed -e"s/x-vnd\.oasis\.openoffice/vnd.oasis.opendocument/" META-INF/manifest.xml.bak >META-INF/manifest.xml
$ zip test.odt META-INF/manifest.xml
$ [start OpenOffice.org, load file and save it again]
