What ever happened to implementing the ability of the Writer
program to be able to read Micro$haft READER ( .lit ) files?

I saw the 32385 issue that was dated some time ago, and noted
that there was no progress.


I'm not familiar with the issue you mentioned, but I know a little bit about
lit files.

Lit is a Microsoft format, and they certainly don't make it easy for anyone
to implement. They like it that way.

And more than that - many (most?) lit files are DRM'ed to limit copying
them. Cracking the DRM to convert the file is illegal. The only program I
know of that can do it is c-lit, and c-lit has received a lot of trouble
because of it.

I'm not sure whether anyone other than Microsoft will ever be able to have a
legal lit reader. For that reason, I avoid the format and don't recommend it
to others.
