I seem to recall that there was a LWP filter in Symphony v1, but IBM pulled it out with the release of current V3 and stated (at the time of release) that they didn't have any plans to support it any more, which upset a fair number of SmartSuite users.

Sorry for my stupid (?) question: if I have not wrongly understood: AOOo code is (or will be) licensed on a license (AL v. 2.0) that permits code migration from AOOo to Libò (LGPL v. 3 licensed), doesn't it? If there is a code that we can point to (and that we'll have to get to improve quality and interoperability) this is surely that of all Lotus native read/write filters!!! Of course! :-) ;-) That code is surely the best place all over the World where getting out not only the Lotus file spec (if any or written by reverse engineering the code), but the code and the filters themselves too!!! Surely, and by definition, that opens and writes the last Lotus file format too... So I say that we could now focus on other (quality related) things and activities and when we will see the right moment, we get the code. What do you think about?
