Hi,

I actually wanted to mention to you that the OOo 1.9XX snapshots
currently have a built in WP filter for reading - no other program
needed! But for those of us still with OOo1.1.4, Writerperfect is super
- albeit a little trickier to get going under Linux than Windows (having
spent 3 hours last night in the attempt.... ;-)    )

Yes, OOo snapshots since 1.9.62 have writerperfect built-in. And even many big Linux distributions use it since it is part of ximian's ooo-build. Martin, which distribution are you using?

Believe me, writerperfect is hundred percent easier to get going under
Linux than Windows. We just distribute the Windows binaries, because
(1) A typical Windows user is very likely not to have a compiler on her
machine,
(2) A typical Windows user, even if he had the compiler, would really
have big problem to build all the dependencies.
(3) We found a registry key that indicates where the most recent install
of OOo/SO is, so it is easy to make it nice :-)

I was contemplating releasing an RPM for RedHat Enterprise Linux 3,
since its OOo is not including it, but one would have to upgrade several
libraries other libraries (libgsf at least, if I am not misstaken) to
make it work properly.

Cheers

Fridrich
