[plug] OOov1.0

[John Knight]

I'll agree with that. :)

>Hi all, Just installed OOov1.0 off the APC mag CD, July '02. It was under
>the directory
>/ontest/files as Zipped and Tar.Gz files for windows and Linux versions
>respectively.
>I can definitely say it works!! I have only one Spreadsheet file in my
>possession and
>it was made on msworks v3.0. All i did was save it as a *.csv file, put it
>on a floppy and
>then tried to import it into GNumeric and it crashed that App. Then I
>installed OOo and
>did not even reboot, then tried to import it into Calc and it went in first
>Pop. That is
>absolutely amazing!! I'd also like to say something about "Generic file
>formats".
>
>  Because a certain company in redmond changes their file formats around 
>when
>they introduce a
>new version of their Office product, I have been telling people to save
>their data in Generic FF's such as .RTF, .CSV or as Text Files so that we
>can use these files on other platforms. If all of PLUG can start doing 
>this,
>maybe we can stymie "Closed File Formats" and cause You Know Who plenty of
>grief. However, Open Office may be able to take on the Closed Nature of 
>MS's
>files and cause some grief that way. Either way, this is the beginning of
>the end for microsoft. Wouldn't that be Wonderful? Thanks for listening to
>my ramblings!
