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. > It might not be quite so bad for Xconq to behave (to some extent) like > an office application. As long as Xconq Office does not have any annoying office assistants, such as Clippy, the Ammo Clip. Eric
