Cool. Thanks for the info, Andrew. I'm definitely looking into this. In git would you treat each document as individual repositories? One of the really nice things about Apple's iWork programs is that the OS will treat unzipped directories ending in .pages etc as pages documents. That makes it easy to keep it in VC without any special steps. Well, except that Pages recognizes that the bundle is uncompressed and gzips the xml files inside the directory. I wish OpenOffice would allow this type of operation directly. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
