Yes, (I think there was earlier someone who mentioned this in the list) this
could be great fun indeed. I am currently in a project in which we are
making electronic documents in process automation systems (that's one of
our project's goals) and I am preparing a demonstration in the near future
with XMosaic. I have used Chris Hectors rtftohtml converter (I have a little
bit modified version) to convert MSWordforWindows .rtf text files to HTML.
I can give some support if needed.
James, do you have free disk space? We need naturally an URL place where
to put all knowledge. Or several ones, one in Australia, one in Europe, one
in USA.
