I'm speaking from ignorance, but I bet we need a way that doesn't require us to check in things that we can't distribute (like M$ TTF font files) I'm hooking you up with Nicola Ken. Really what we need is someone who is in the know to hook up with the forrest crowd. We just use Forrest for our documentation so any real change needs to take place there. As a bonus it will help a lot of other projects too. > On Sat, 02 Aug 2003 00:43:31 -0400 > (Subject: Re: Cell value encoding) > "Andrew C. Oliver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Sure!
