I don't believe it's necessarily the future. I would just like to see it be. Partly because I know Tony and know that he's put a lot of work into it and that it's a very good design that could be built on to create a great application. I think it also plays better with other free software and with the open-source developement community in that its written in C (not in Java). As far as FOP, it's been in development for something like 6 years or more now and still falls far short of being able to produce reasonable output for many documents. I don't expect it to progress dramatically in the next year unless some more life (and money) are breathed into it. --Mike -- Michael(tm) Smith http://www.w3.org/People/Smith/ _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
