-
- I have to disagree totally!
- Implementing everything into the main program will make it bloated, less usable
- for people with limited system resources and those that don't need these
- features at all. Have a look at Word.
-
- It would me much smarter to have advanced features such as tables or equations
- available as seperate plug-in modules!
- Even Word does it for some parts using OLE.
-
- The problem is that there is no such standard data-exchange system for the Amiga.
- ARexx helps a bit, but is not very satisfying.
-
- BTW, somebody want to implement OpenDoc for the Amiga? :)
