Re: want to provide patch

yes. i figured that out after looking at the other PRs. the gitflow mech that i'm used to had us working on branches in the same repo, not forks. but after inspecting other PRs, the difference became apparent. PR has been submitted for review. TIA Stanton Fisque principal technol

small to be trivial. and if a project has the available resources to follow the newest version of POI, they probably have the resources to upgrade their app to a newer version of java. Stanton Fisque principal technologist latticeware.com portland, oregon > On Feb 3, 2024, at 13:18 PM, PJ
