    Hi Michael,
    
    I hope you're not thinking that i actually read the thousands of OOo 
    "comments" and "kind suggestions" concerning the new OASIS file 
    extensions?  :)
    
    If we could settle the file extensions issue, i think i'll be able to 
    make the case for change.  But not without some blood in the streets :)
    
    ~ge~
