Every file? As someone using OpenOffice.org since before 1.x days it looks a bit overestimated. Have you tried OpenOffice.org 3.x? Can you file relevant bugs and attach sample documents? I know I would vote for them. > Wasn't there support of development by a government agency > discussed once? What became of that? Wine is an important project (IMO). But it is only a bandaid for people who use (or are forced to use) proprietary software. Moreover, even proprietary vendors may write portable software (eliminating the need for wine). The abundance of portable libraries and frameworks not only make it a reality but even a good business choice (e.g: Qt). IMO, government funding is better spent in *solving* the problem instead of providing temporary workaround. In this sense, the partial funding of OOo is infinitely better than helping wine. -- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron __ / / (_)__ __ ____ __ / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / . . . t h e c h o i c e o f a /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ G N U g e n e r a t i o n . . . ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
