But *nobody* can do that in the EDA world. The commercial tools you mentioned can only import, not export. And (as an open office user) I would not want open office to be a model for gEDA: it copies all of the bloat, inflexibility, and bizarre, unpredictable behavior of the MS software it replaces. Its *only* advantage is that it's free. But gEDA is a superior toolkit.
