Hey folks.

Earlier this week there was a discussion on Slashdot about Microsoft 
sending out their file format specs, according to the antitrust 
settlement, in a proprietary format.  The format, it seems, is actually 
not closed.

The idea of the format is to wrap a whole bunch of web stuff up in a 
single file -- linked images etc all in one.  This is how Windows HTML 
Help works to create .chm files as well.

I just saw this extension for Firefox appear which seems to do the same 
thing.  Seems to work a treat!  No idea if it can be opened in IE 
though.
