If it's to work with .zip files then there's a UNO api for packages, and
specifically for .zips i.e.
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/packages/zip/module-ix.html
and for an example see filter/source/xsltdialog/xmlfilterjar.cxx where a
com.sun.star.packages.comp.ZipPackage service is retrieved and the
contents of a .zip iterated over and, input streams created for some
entries and their contents copied to some output streams which are
backed by uncompressed normal local disk files.

Hi Caolan,

Thanks, I'll check it out. You seem to imply that there's a better way 
to open zipped files than to use zlib directly. Do I understand 
correctly? If so, what's the better way?

If you really want to use zlib directly, then for examples see, e.g.
filter/source/flash
i.e 
makefile.mk like... SHL1STDLIBS=$(ZLIB3RDLIB)

& swfwriter1.cxx for the include lines

Thanks for your kind offering. First you should know that OOo
development on Windows needs the MS Visual Studio C++ compiler.
Fortunately the "free" (as in "free beer") MS VSC++ 2005 Express is
suitable. A document with building instructions is available.

If you wanted to contribute to some of our projects: welcome on board!
Perhaps you should check the websites of our projects, the developers
should have "ToDo" lists posted there. You can start at

http://projects.openoffice.org/index.html

As you have some experience with Access programming I assume that
especially our "Base" developers would be interested. You can meet them
at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Best regards,
Mathias

You named it. But as I already answered to Christian: I agree that
"immediately" may be an exaggeration. But we have to discuss if and how
we can detect infrastructure problems and how we will have to deal with
them. Starting now and fixing problems later is not acceptable. That's
the same as what we (try to) do with our product. ;-)

Should we discuss how often these tests break? And what a relief it is
that you can ask someone via phone to restart them? You see, there are
some open questions to discuss.

So my understanding was that first a team discusses all open questions
around how the CWS process for the Tinderbox builds should work and then
we will try to follow it. Not the other way around.

Besides that I am very thankful to all the people who invested their
time to get that going. But I hope that they can remain patient for a
little bit more time.

Ciao,
Mathias

Sorry, but OpenOffice.org source code is far too large in size to email 
something like that around. This is not something like eg. notepad it´s 
a full fledged package of office applications ;-)


Please have a look here on options to get the source code:

[dev] Open Office Programmin g

2007-04-30 Thread Rollen Easter
I am a retired professional engineer who did a good bit of programming in 
conjunction with structural engineering. On retiring I had my own company to 
produce database programs in dBase, Clipper, and C++. I have also done a good 
bit of Access programming. These served very well in augmenting my reduced 
pension after retiring early.


Now I am looking for something to fill my 'indoor' time. I very much like the 
idea of OpenOffice as I understand it. In the old programming days a hacker was 
one who helped anyone who needed help. We encouraged and helped even our 
competition. I hate what has happened to the field.

I am now downloading 2.2 and will try it out. I have put Open Ofice on several 
computers of folks who could not afford MSOffice and it appears to have served 
the purpose well.

Do you have some advice on how I migh be of help? I have the Old Borland Turbo 
C++ package and Delphi but never had any good use for them and did not explore 
very far.
