Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: looking for sdw-compatible, Linux version of Libre Office

Hi :)
I think that is roughly what people are driving at.  In the tech
republic article it shows that LibreOffice has/had one built-in that
had it's own gui-front-end / wizard.  It suggested that would be great
if it could be freed-up from the rest of the code and provided as a
stand-alone program/utility/package, perhaps even purely as a
command-line tool only with no gui front-end.

I don't even think such a thing would be possible, or if it was it
sounds to me like it would be incredibly difficult.
Regards from
Tom :)
