I have to agree. I started importing a killer word document with tons of
tables, lines, OLE stuff at about 11:20. I went to give a lecture at 12:00
and it was still going. I came back from the lecture and the import has
completed. It worked! Of course all the table OLE stuff has gone but
anywhere there was text to be found, wv had managed to suck it out of the
file. Also on another file that crashed abi before, now I get a "bogus
document" warning and no crash.
I'm really impressed. I vote to commit.
Cheers!
Martin
