No, I definitely wasn't suggesting that you block development of the Works filter until this was done. :) However, I'd definitely prefer to keep libwpd focused on WordPerfect documents. Personally, what I'd do in your case is start a new project from scratch, but go ahead and copy over some of the more useful utility classes and functions (e.g.: WPXHLListenerImpl, WPXString, etc.) into your work. So long as you don't change them _too_ much, it should be easy to make both libwpd and libwps depend on a common "text document filter library" at some point in the future. -- William Lachance [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
