This sounds like a good idea. Gnome (and I think Qt, as well) has
an embedded object architecture, iirc. And, of course, Microsoft
does, so one could instantiate a MSExcel object within Xconq, for
instance. But as a cross-platform solution goes, I would have to
look; maybe the Ximian stuff is such; I will look at it.

As long as Xconq Office does not have any annoying office
assistants, such as Clippy, the Ammo Clip.
