 there was a discussion on the linux-utf8 mailing list
 ( http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/ ) in Nov-2005
 about using OO.org to print plain UTF-8 text files
 (with the `-p' option and an added BOMb).
 the observation was made that the `ooffice' script
 seems to be a Mandrake/Debian-thing?  indeed, I do
 not have such a script (I have both 1.1.<something>
 (from my SUSE 9.1 distro) and also 2.0 (from the
 OO.org site) installed, but no `ooffice'/`ooffice2'
 anywhere.

cheers!
