I'd be willing to write the filters, if somebody can point me towards guides on how to write to output ODF. [This is an instance of where the ODF toolkit would be helpful. I know about the OOo Utility Library --- I'm downloading it right now.] >Can they be done as plugins to avoid bloating the core? Stand alone filters are easier to write, and can do conversions in batch mode. The "engine" of the stand alone filter could be wrapped into a plugin, to be used from within OOo. > I have a copy of Born's 1200pp _The File Formats Handbook_ (ITCP, 1995) > which I'm happy to donate to the project if someone will tell me where > before I give it away on bookmooch.com -- I rarely use it these days. If nobody else volunteers to write the filters, that book would be very useful to me. ##### Something else that will be needed, is documents to test the filters on. I don't know what software from the days of DOS I still have. xan jonathon
