Yes, because it can also read and write free filesystems, so it doesn't *require* a non-freed filesystem to be useful. KMH> So why not a reader for Word documents?

Otherwise, that reader *requires* non-main software (MS Word) in order to be useful. -- Gordon Matzigkeit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> //\ I'm a FIG (http://www.fig.org/) Committed to freedom and diversity \// I use GNU (http://www.gnu.org/)
