[softwarelist] Re: Importing Impression files into OP (Bruce Goatly)

It may be possible to take the constituent parts of documents stored in the
old-style directory format and put them together to make a new-style single
file document.
There's a good chance that Impression itself wouldn't read these
reconstituted documents, but Ovation Pro might be able to.
I suppose I could answer that by looking at the source code of the Impression filter. The two formats must be similar for me to have been able to load both using the same piece of code. However since you can load directory format documents already what would be the point turning them into files.
If you want something to worry about... my filter only loads the latest (last) Impression file format. There are older formats.
Given the way things went, about 4 years development during which the file format changed and then 16 years in which nothing happened, most stuff is in the last format.
5000 years hence are archaeologists going to pick through all this stuff the way they do through shopping lists written on cuniform clay tablets in 3000BC. 

If so - Hi guys!
