Re: (TFT) Guns in TFT - A big expansion.

[Jeffrey Vandine <jlv61560@yahoo.com>]

My original post was merely pointing out that a lot of people don't have or
 use the program.  Indeed, aren't even aware that it exists.  You
 and some other guy decided to attack me for suggesting that you might reac
h a wider audience by saving as something more commonly in use.  So do
 whatever you want.  I don't actually give a flying eff.  I happe
n to use LibreOffice myself, and have, along with its predecessor, OpenOffi
ce, for years.  However, if you choose to minimize your audience, knoc
k yourself out.
Henceforth I'll refrain from commenting on any of your stuff.  Have a 
nice day.

I have no idea what you are saying here.  


I was in a proprietary format, word perfect.  When it died, I
had a massive amount of work to convert to *.doc files.

Then M$ decided to change its format, and suddenly my
copy of word could not open up M$ documents which 
people were sending to me.  I had enough and converted
my files to open office.

And the problems have stopped.

*.odt is the standard open format.  ANYONE can write their
programs to use it.  There are no secrets or hidden kickers.

Furthermore it is not a complicated format.  It is easy to write
programs to open it.  And if people have decided to use a
program where the programmers are so lazy and so 
incompetent, that their program can't understand it, you can
download many free programs that are competent to open 
this format.


Anyway, I am sticking to open software from now on.  If you
want me to change, you are whistling in the wind.

Rick
