The first has been done already, but only for Win9x/ME (grab the VBFS driver
off of
BeShare). A similar Linux project is in the works (but I don't have a link,
ATM . . .).
The second is done, too, since GobeProductive 3.0 for Windows reads 2.0 files
just fine
(but 2.0 doesn't read 3.0 files). The third would be a bit tricker, though,
since all
the formatting in a StyledEdit document is done via BFS file attributes . . .
