I would appreciate if that datatracker simply rejected PPTX on upload. It is several mangnitudes more efficient to have the uploaded simply select a different option on save rather than to bother dozens of consumers with having to spend hours and/or $$ to obtain a computing environment that is capable of visualizing PPTX. > > Because the world has evolved since Office v0 was released unlike the IETF. > > PPTX is Office 2007 format and there are formal readers and format API's > for office so that this is a no brainer. > > http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=6 And where is the download URL for an officially *FREE* license of Microsoft Windows that is a prerequisite for this player? While I do have OpenOffice on about half of my dozen computing environments, none of them is sufficiently "new" to process PPTX. I'm a developer and need my time for work, rather than constantly wrangling of software updates of software that I hardly use myself, like OpenOffice. -Martin _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
