Description nivag 2003-08-24 19:29:45 UTC
I went to load the file fhs-2.2.txt.gz ("Filesystem Hierarchy Standard")
obtained from the above URL, and I got a few funny characters in OpenOffice.

The file is 28.8K, and the uncompressed file is 105.7K - a 73% saving in space.

I think that OpenOffice should be able to automatically load such files, and
also be able to save to them.

My intention was to load it in and change the font and save it again.

bzip2 supports smaller compressed files.  Could this be done
seamlessly on all platforms?

This should not be in component "Word processor", it is general for all saving 
and loading.

Seconded - esp for imports of all those pesky M$-Office files which consume
ample amounts of space, but only need to be there for reference (ie, read-only).

Thanks!
