G'day Keith, glad you asked. <br>
<br>
Its an OpenDocument format file (in this case odp is a SlideShow) a new
standards based XML system for sharing files, long term stable archives
etc. We will start to see a lot of this stuff about and there are some
really good issues for students to sink their brains into.<br>

<br>
I know you like to get your head under the bonnet .. download the odp
file, rename the file extension to zip then have a fascinating peek
inside. Grab a free copy of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://OpenOffice.org">http://OpenOffice.org</a> or another package
above then open it to see it from the editor and a PDF viewer to see it
from the outside. More in the next VITTA newsletter. :-)<br>
