As just mentioned on the PubSoft list:

It took maybe an hour, during what was only my 2nd or 3rd time using
OpenOffice 1.0, to convert Dr Chuong's ppt presentation to oo-impress
and html *slide shows*, another 30 minutes to slap them on the Web,
test and then announce them, too.

And the html works well and looks good in Opera, NS and Mozilla on
GNU/Linux and Win2K, and in Ieeeeeeeeeee! on the only platform it
works on.

And *anyone* and *any* platform can view it Free' and legally --
which makes me wonder html was virtually ignored in this thread.
