Re: [libreoffice-users] LO 4 install deletes 3.6

Thanks, Andrew; I hadn't noticed this before.  My LO 3.4 directory is 
still present, but practically empty.  This is NOT good behavior if the 
user is not notified first.  I'll be sure to go back and find your 
earlier message and save it, for future use.  When there's an upgrade 
(as opposed to a patch), I want the ability to test it before abandoning 
my old software.  Guess I'm fortunate not to have had issues going from 
3.4 to 4.0!
