Yes, I know James.  I've talked to him several times.  In fact, if you 
take a look at the website you just gave me, you will see my name on it.

I wrote a simple tool called OOoExtract which inspired James to do his 
(much superior) work.


But this is *not* what I am talking about here.  James' work is for 
manipulating SXW files.  I am talking about using the OOo API (UNO) to 
write plugins, filters and and even GUI applications based on OOo.

Cheers,
