"binfilter" is the project name of this stuff in OOo, so that's the reason it was chosen. It might not be perfect, but it is easy enough to find out what it does (and most shouldn't care about it anyway) but "staroffice" would be a lot worse in my opinion, as this is just for some ancient StarOffice formats, while the more current ones are supported by default (so it would suggest something wrong) Actually I thought about that issue in advance, but decided that something like "binfilter" is better than something complicated like "staroffice-legacy". bye Andreas -- Andreas Proschofsky Gentoo Developer / OpenOffice.org
