[Openmcl-devel] RDNZL Anyone?

[Tomas Hlavaty]

Hi Steven,

also http://logand.com/sw/cl-olefs.html might be of interest to you,
although support for MS Word is also almost nonexistent, but might be
not so difficult to implements bits depending on what you are after.
Also, if you don't need to process old binary office documents, the new
formats are xml based and much easier to deal with;-)

Cheers,

Tomas
