I found http://www.oooninja.com/2008/02/batch-command-line-file-conversion-with.html and wrote said Babelfish-style converter. If anyone wants to try it, see http://home.daviel.org/cgi-bin/ms2pdf No guarantees it will stay up, and the bandwidth's not great (this is not a production server). I called it "MS to PDF" but it will also do ODT, SXW etc. to PDF or HTML. I have OpenOffice 2.4 running in headless server mode and pass it documents retrieved with wget. Currently it caches converted documents indefinitely so I'm not bothered if someone hits "reload" a few times. Point taken about wanting to work on documents offline, but what I wanted was to check out the slides at a conference to see what stream I wanted to attend, or follow links in the presentation in real time. -- Andrew Daviel, TRIUMF, Canada _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
