Just because the last code update was a little over a year ago doesn't
mean the UNO project is dead. If the OpenOffice API has remained

That cgi idea is really cool, but I don't have any web space to host
the files. Plus the bandwidth required would be deadly. I think I'll
just have to stick to the zip file idea. The problem with the
read-only is that this program is aimed at a Windows audience.
