Greetings,
I lost the thread, but if one obtains an MSWord document from someone
and puts it on your Linux-only machine, is that something that MS might
object to--now or in the future. Thus, MSWord aware free-ware might be a
problem. If it produces an MSWord document, it suddenly becomes
license-fodder for MS.
It continually surprises me. History would seem to show that people
who make temporary accomodations of convenience with dictatorships, either
governmental or commercial, live to regret it.
Gordon,
