        We can try and/or see if he/she/they want to participate to the Document Liberation project…

        In fact, I begin to work on some WDB files and their structures seem quite similar to the 
WKS structures :-)
Of course, some new zones exist to code reports and probably forms, 1D-formula… , but I begin to be 
able to
extract some of the database content ( which is what I want to convert as I can only convert these 
files in spreadsheet ), …

        In general, I mainly want to have as many test files as possible. Ie. I use some scripts to 
detect unexpected
content and I check by hand that some conversions are «  good » or not ( but as I am working on so 
many formats in
libmwaw, I may miss something ). 
        Concerning libwps as I do not have any way to launch the latest versions of Microsoft Works 
for PC, also having
some files converted in pdf will be clearly better….

PS: for Jay, sorry for the duplicated email, but as I have done a reply instead of a reply all…
