RO> Hallo François, RO> On Tue, 29 Oct 2002 22:14:19 +0100GMT (29-10-02, 22:14 +0100GMT, where RO> I live), you wrote: FP>> * rtf itself is a thing of the past, since M$ itself is switching FP>> to XML RO> Why are you both bashing Microsoft and stating that they're the RO> standard everyone should adhere too? Don't undersqtand what you mean. RO> Do you consider plain text a thing of the past too, since Microsoft RO> has switched to Word? Microsoft invented rtf and is leaving it now, in profit of XML. So it is a thing of the past. As far as I know, plain text as not been invented by M$, so whatever M$ is doing regarding it doesn't make a thing of the past of it. RO> BTW Who invented XML? Answered. I have no stock-option at w3c. I have used increasingly XML for 3 years now in many kind of projects (from paper print to web) and believe it is a pivotal language that solves not any but a great deal of problems attached to older languages. Among them is use of UTF-8 that would avoid many troubles in e-mail with foreign accents. -- Cordialement, François mailto:fpti@;transvie.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
