Dear Sirs,
I really like Open Office, but on some of my older computers, Open Office uses to much resources, so on those computers I have started to use Abiword. (Another opensource word processor.) Abiword has a plugin for reading/writing ODT files, but Open office doesn't have the ability to read/write ABW files. (At least I could not find it.) As it's file format is opensource, could you not easily add support for that file format as well? We complain about Microsoft not opening it's file format, yet we don't use all the open formats that are available. Is that right? (BTW, I have suggested to Abiword that they put the ODT support into the main code instead of a plugin. They said that it would take alot of work. With both your and their software being opensource and freely available, I can not see how it should be that hard.
Sincerely,
Eric G Rothoff
