You snipped the relevant portion of that requirement. Freemind (stated mistakenly as Mindmap) and Storylines files were the examples I gave for non-textual. I started out the thread thinking that OOo could be versioned since I knew it was nothing more than an XML document. I did not know at the time it was compressed which would render it non-text to a versioning software. I was quickly disabused of that misconception and was perfectly fine to not have versioning via normal textual means. In fact I then switched my thinking to how to get OOo to save uncompressed or have the versioning software to handle OOo documents. But if I can't get it versioned that's no big deal. -- Steve C.
