Indeed they are compressed files .. found via el goog "As you can see, the editing interface is much like that of any other WYSIWYG word processor screen (the OpenOffice user interface is beyond the scope of this article). I saved the file as document.sxw. As with all files saved in OpenOffice native format, this is actually a ZIP file that contains a set of XML and other support files -- a bundling known as the OpenOffice package format. " But shouldn't permission inheritance be in play if this is the case? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
