Having finished implementing the package implementation for OpenOffice, and half heartedly writing up a few pages of documentation, I cast my hand about for a new project that would occupy my days with frustration and my nights with nightmares. And lo, verily...my hand did find: the conversion of StarOffices autotext/autocorrect files from an OLE storage to an XML based solution in one of our (very cool) package thingies
Having taken one quick look at the code for the old style autotext/autocorrection and its morass of comments in German....my knees grow weak. Time to don my armour, quaff my coffee and go forth to do battle with Old Code (there be dragons here).
