Office Viewer is a stand-alone Compound-Storage Viewer. It is not implemented on top of OLE. Instead we used our Binary-Structure Lab ( LSW-BSL) to implement it.
The
Word Viewer demonstrates our Word-Compound-Storage structure framework ( MS-W2K-CSFW
). MS-W2K-CSFW is written in LSW-Vision-Smalltalk using
Microsoft's Word-Format Description from MSDN in less than six days !
The
PowerPoint Compound-Storage structure framework ( MS-PP2K-CSFW )
was the first we implemented - due to the need of a customer to retrieve the
text-content of PowerPoint files faster than with Microsoft's OLE Interfaces.
