Hi all!

http://programming.newsforge dot com/programming/04/10/21/1452220.shtml?tid=54

is an article courtesy of Newsforge about a collective of projects called
"POI." 

The project provides Java access to Microsoft Office-format files at the
OLE-2 level, rather than at the specific document level (xls, doc ppt etc).

The report is technical and relevant to all you cunning programmer types, but
it may offer some scope to build new filters for our existing tools.


Best regards
John Angelico
