No? A friend of mine is doing a Word to SGML converter as a consultancy job for a company that need the functionality; it will be finished later this year. If I understood him correctly it will be released under the GNU licence when he's finished with it. The only bad thing about it is that it's written in CL, and thus somewhat harder to compile than nescessary. Eivind Eklund perhaps@yes.no http://maybe.yes.no/perhaps/ eivind@freebsd.org
