The iPad store rules theoretically prohibit any application that interprets code. This would, in theory, exclude any application that utilizes macros, or allows macros to be created. What Apple would like to do, is mandate that all software for the iPad be written in Objective C. What they compromised on, was a very short list of languages, which pointedly excluded scripting languages. That said, rewriting OOo in Objective C, and eliminating the dependencies on Mono and Java that is has, would be a good thing for a number of reasons. (I just realized that ADA is not on the list of approved languages for the iPad. Pity,because that language mandates secure, stable code.) jonathon - -- Non-list email sent to this email address is forwarded to Dave Null, unread. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvqwOMACgkQVyQBHg3MfvQc2ACgt4yQD6W71FB24dEVrPCDoMva lSMAn1vu+fpWcgKHvhByF+ZdeFYshFEj =9T6/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
