[Vimoutliner] UPDATE: Is there a VO to OO Impress converter

[Steve Litt]

Ughhhhhhhh,

I'm writing an otl2odp script, and man, WHAT A MESS! Both .sxi and .odp are 
extremely complicated -- well, not complicated as in not understandable, but 
complicated in lots of tags almost guaranteeing you'll forget something. I 
long for LyX, but my courseware must be in Powerpoint format.
