[Wvware-devel] 0x01/0x08 graphics?

[Derrick M. <der...@ax...>]

Hi.  We are currently using Word 2000 automation to batch-translate 
classified ads for web posting, but it's proving to be pretty clunky and 
unreliable.  We're now trying to switch over to using wvWare, but I can't get 
it to convert the external TIFF logo graphics in the ads.  Error message is 
as follows:

** WARNING **: Invalid seek
Diagnostic: (./escher.c:223) Eating type 0xf004
 Diagnostic: (./wvWare.c:568) Strange No Graphic Data in the 0x01/0x08 graphic

According to the list archives, 0x01/0x08 graphics are currently not 
supported.

Can anyone tell me what is involved in getting wvWare to work with these 
graphics?  Alternately, how hard would it be for us to get wvHtml to output 
the native filesystem path to the graphic?  That way we could do the graphic 
conversion externally, and do a regex replace on the resulting HTML to change 
the img src.

The docs are created in a proprietary, closed source app which is built 
around Word 97.  I've placed a sample ad document at 
http://209.190.143.3/adfile.doc

Any suggestions or insight into where this feature falls in the development 
roadmap would be very much appreciated.  We're willing to help with testing 
if anyone is working on this.

Thanks!
