It's also fun to poke through the binary looking for stuff they've left behind. Return the doc as RTF, labled as DOC, with Ted. Add a note that in general, you prefer altnernatives to .DOC. You'll do fine. `-- Karsten M. Self [link\|mailto:kmself@ix.netcom.com\|kmself@ix.netcom.com] What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?`

And over a dialup, I didn't feel like waiting that long just for the opportunity to read an application in Word format.

Post #14,278 by kmself 10/20/01 6:59:11 AM Reply	You've heard it before... `$ apt-get install abiword wv catdoc antiword` They're 11,052, 3,220, 437, and 384 KB, respectively. All but AbiWord should come down within five minutes, give it 20 for the whole set. Besides, it's so much fun returning someone's Word doc as a textfile. ;-) `-- Karsten M.

Post #14,320 by drewk 10/20/01 3:00:43 PM Reply	Abiword is only 11K? Damn, that's small. I just may have to do that. (Of course, I'll have to get the RPMs, until I have the time to redo this machine with Debian. Which, buy the way, once I do I'm going to have some questions for you on automating updates. I know you've given pointers before but can't find them.)
