Good for them for once. ;-) You do realize that OpenOffice has been using XML for it's documents since it was forked from StarOffice, right? It's simply zipped 1) so that it looks like a single file 2) so it's smaller (same as M$ has said they will be doing with their xml Office documents, actually). So we're not having to sit back and watch M$ do something good in this case. Instead we get to watch them *copy* us and then pat them on the back for finally joining our crowd. :-) HAND, Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
