Philippe,
UDM/Mnogo Search is reading the stdout that should contain only ASCII (ISO 8859-X)
documents.
You define a parser and this parser reads the file provided as argument, and should
return the ASCII version.
Under Unix, it is mostly simple. I created a udm-gw that is able to deal with most
known parses (and after some tests, the selected seems to be the best in their
category). With this, Unix (again) can be able to index many sort of compressed files
(.gz, .Z, .zip, .arj, .zoo, .lzh, .lha, .ace) and format, even in archives: .doc,
.xls, .pdf, .ps, all asciis of course (.txt, ...).
Hopes it helps
