Hello everybody,

in my installation, the staroffice import filters were not installed.  When I
had, on the command line, called oowriter with some old *.sdw file (StarWriter
5.0), a dialog opened, that allowed me to choose among different file formats,
including StarWriter 5.0.  However, when selecting that file format, I got a
message "general input/output error".

I first had submitted a bug report, and thanks to the help of the people here, I
learned that I had to install the missing drivers.  Now, everything works fine,
and oowriter immediately knows how to interpret the file's content.  I don't
even have to select a file format.  This is great.

However, my suggestion is to improve the error message, indicating to a user
what the problem might be.

Best regards,
Dirk Herrmann
