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
