I also prefer making binfilters completely independent from any other OOo code. Constrain is to keep it as small as possible. It might be difficult to duplicate ( or better get rid of) VCL. In theory, only font and output device code should be in use if you can really throw away everything not needed for a filter. For a converter even that should not be needed, because there shouldn't be any layout calculation. But to get all of that done, you need more than one person, or a lot more time than you estimate. And my suggestion would be to start with throwing away all unused code in binfilters, to avoid unnecessary dependencies. This is IMHO not the job for one person alone, but for one person of each application who knows what can be removed. Probably also someone for DrawingEngine code - hey, that IMHO would be you ;) Malte. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
