Well, given that the pieces we use seem to be stable, that might work even 
though I'm a bit short on time for Open Source these days.

An admirable sentiment, but I suspect Mark is right - and I have no desire to 
repeat the mistake of stopping work on the Word filter because we were going 
to cooperate with an external group to share code: Exchange interoperation is 
even more important to me than Word.

FWIW, I suspect I will basically delete all the high level ("semantic") 
routines: we don't use them and when I have tried, they seemed very hard to 
understand/debug even though I count myself as not especially prone to NIH 
syndrome.

The low level routines don't seem too bad, and once the headers are 
straightened out, we should be able to see the wood for the trees and fix 
them if needed.

But all that's for later. For now, I'll try to sort out 
timezones-for-all-dates.

Thanks, Shaheed
