Hi Ian,

I have been unable to find documentation on the format of xcu files, and
from this posting in Nov '03:
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4028 that there wasn't
much - is this still the case? If not, has anyone got a URL they can
point me to?
You can find documentation about the OOo configuration system at <http://util.openoffice.org/>.
The authoritative reference for xcs and xcu files is <http://util.openoffice.org/common/configuration/oor-document-format.html>.
The Developer's Guide has an introduction to the topic at <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/Config/Config.htm#1+5+Customizing+Configuration+Data>. The "Writing UNO Components" chapter explains particular uses of configuration data for integrating your own components into OOo in section <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/DevelopersGuide/Components/Components.htm#1+7+Integrating+Components+into+OpenOffice.org>.
At this point I am not wanting to grammatically manipulate the files,
just simply create one (with a text editor).
If you have access to a real xml editor you should use that. A DTD or schema for xcs and xcu formats are available in the OOo source (e.g. at <http://www.openoffice.org/source/browse/util/officecfg/registry/>).
I want to bundle an xcu file for running a BASIC macro, together with
the BASIC macro, and a Python component that it calls into a zip file,
so that pkgchk will install the lot.
HTH, Joerg
