We can try and/or see if he/she/they want to participate to the
Document Liberation project…
In fact, I begin to work on some WDB files and their structures seem
quite similar to the WKS structures :-)
Of course, some new zones exist to code reports and probably forms, 1D-formula…
, but I begin to be able to
extract some of the database content ( which is what I want to convert as I can
only convert these files in spreadsheet ), …

In general, I mainly want to have as many test files as possible. Ie. I
use some scripts to detect unexpected
content and I check by hand that some conversions are « good » or not ( but as
I am working on so many formats in
libmwaw, I may miss something ).
Concerning libwps as I do not have any way to launch the latest
versions of Microsoft Works for PC, also having
some files converted in pdf will be clearly better….

PS: for Jay, sorry for the duplicated email, but as I have done a reply instead
of a reply all…
