Hi Ron,

yes I do not want to learn PB Plus.

a) Could you please make a quiet command line option e.g. "-q" so the command "odt2txt -q testtext.odt" will do no screen output. If possible just set the DOS errorlevel to 1 if the file could not be generated. In C the errorlevel would be set with a "return 1".

b) If the file name is "testtext.odt" could you call the output file "testtext.htm". Also put this name into the title.
