Yes, yes it is !
Yesterday I was fidling around with Norton to do things like that.
I tried to add some extra viewers into Norton
e.g. xlhtml.exe but I have some problems with that:
row and/or colum out of range and whatever value I gave: out of range.
Does anyone know how to change (add to) the menu of viewers one gets
after pressing F8 in Norton Commander?
Is there a viewer and/or coverter for WORD => ASCII ?
I get many mails with WORD attachments and I do the following:
step 1: clip off the header and the end => save the text
step 2: many caracters are to be converted (7+ bits) to 'normal' ASCII
(IBM extended caracterset 437) especialy when German text is
involved and/or technical caracters are used, like mu (micro),
diameter, etc.
For conversion I use a home made conversion program in BASIC.
Some caracters, like the 'ohm' (resistance) caracter, are in a table in
WORD... and WORD needs abt 20 caracters to point to the list to the right
caracter (in ASCII this is just '234') so the conversion of 'ohm' is
done manualy.
