Yes, I was able to extract plain text from OOXML, without any format
code, is a first step. But is needed a lot of carefull check of the
tags to get the rigth and of paragraf.
Make this for example at prompt.
7z e -so -y yourdocument.doc > outfile.xml
ex doc2txt.ex outfile.xml

Certainly, pass it over here. I'll release dos and osx versions (and
linux too if I can get another linux box up and running)
Fpc is great.

I think WordPerfect 5.1 was a really popular word processor
for DOS, much more suited for DOS use than graphical Word
versions today...
The ODF and MS-OOXML formats are, as far as I remember, both
actually "renamed" ZIP files with several XML files inside.
I think MS-OOXML also has binar

As Marco said, Word's Find and Replace does this easily - you need to click
on the 'More' button in the Find and Replace dialog, then click on
'Special', then insert as many of the characters as you like in sequence -
in this case, 'Paragraph Mark' and 'Tab Character'. Works like a charm!

My all times favorite DOS word processing program was WordPerfect 5.1,
has a very hard learning curve, but once you learn the keystrokes is
really eficient, I worked a lot with it and tested WP6.0 but was very
slow on amy 486SLC with 2 Mb Ram...
With WP you can make things like look for all ocurre

Thanks - I think the boot loader has a startup mode without EMM386; I'll
give that a try.

Haven't swapped shells yet, but I'll give that a try. I was going to switch
over to 4DOS anyway - I actually bought that program way back and always
thought it a great set of tools. Thanks!

The EMM displays the message, but doesn't necessarily cause the er
Have you tried using a different shell, e.g. 4DOS? This reminds me of some
problems I had with the default command shell a while back. I switched over
to 4DOS and haven't noticed it since.

Hi -
I had some problems loading my favorite DOS word processor (Word 5.5) under
FreeDOS. This program is a download from the web, so I'm loading from a
directory on my hard drive rather than from floppy disks.
When I run Setup.exe, I get a bunch of error statements (about half of the
screen) and
35 matches
