The re-lab project is a collaboration between gimp.ru and giadram inc., focused on reverse-engineering various proprietary file formats. It features tools like ole toy, which evolved from earlier projects and supports multiple formats including MS Publisher, Corel Draw, and Excel. Additionally, the project aims to troubleshoot and enhance the capabilities of LibreOffice and other applications related to these file formats.
