interesting conclusion, I can't see how it was derivied. the size of the
code (which you don't know, because you didn't download for StarOffice
yet) has nothing to do with the complexity or extendability of the
wordprocessor's rendering engine's code. for all you know it's spaghetti
in Abi and KWord and clean in StarOffice. it all remains to be seen.
I encourage our esteemed membrs of the list who can afford the tiome and
knowhow to pool for this cause. be it for Kword or office or Abi.
