Hello, good people,

This is just to tell you that we did today an initial release of
wpg2odg, a nice tool written by Ariya Hidayat and your servant. This
tool converts WordPerfect Graphics files to OpenDocument Graphics format.

The source tarball, source rpm along with a win32 binary can be found at
our download page http://sourceforge.net/projects/libwpg. Users that run
either different flavours of Fedora or SuSE, download this package
(along with the recently released libwpg) from my openSuSE build service
repository:
	http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/fstrba/

It is a known issue that the converted ODG files are quite big if an
embedded bitmap or other binary object is present in the original WPG
file. This is due mainly to the fact that we are not compressing, only
storing the different streams of the zip-file. Once the document is
loaded into OpenOffice.org and resaved again, its size will diminish in
a considerable way.

Enjoy and consume carelessly

Cheers

Fridrich Strba
